Update: Potential Strike of CSM Teachers
You may have seen recent media reports about the potential for college faculty at the College of San Mateo (CSM) to go on strike following a vote of their union members. The San Mateo Union High School District is following negotiations between the San Mateo County Community College District and its teacher’s union closely to plan ahead for our Middle College students and educators should CSM teachers go on strike. We will continue to communicate with the Middle College community with updates.
First, we want Middle College students, parents and educators to know that we will not ask you to cross picket lines at the College of San Mateo should a strike occur and are working on alternative plans which may include local field trips (at no cost to our students) and classes held at other locations within our District. We will provide lunch to Middle College students should we need to shift to alternative plans.
We are also planning ahead for transportation for Middle College students who normally take a shuttle from the Millbrae BART station to the College of San Mateo.
For now, Middle College students should attend classes at the College of San Mateo as they normally do. Our District will continue to provide updates to students and families.
See the San Mateo County Community College District website for updates on negotiations.

Graduate Profile Element - Community Engagement
As we planned our Spring Orientation, one of our student leaders highlighted the importance of shared experiences, noting that students build connection through repeated storytelling and laughter.
Justin Wan is a bright and thoughtful student in his classes, though he is often quiet when it comes to class participation. His reserved nature means many students at Middle College recognize him as a friendly face in the hallways, while only a few know him on a deeper level.
On the first day of the spring semester, however, Justin captured the attention of the entire campus by being the only junior to perform at our Student Showcase during orientation. By putting on a magic show for the entire Middle College community, Justin gave students and staff an experience they will be talking about for years to come. His performance showed that community engagement can mean being a close friend, but it can also mean stepping out of your comfort zone to bring people together.
