Richard W. Dowling Middle School is a place of new beginnings. We are hard at work to welcome our new Texans as well as continue a strong instructional program where every DMS Texan will learn. We welcome the students and parents to DMS with open arms. We’re glad that you’re here and we want to make these middle school years a time of fulfillment of learning, goals to reach, and success! Our goal is to prepare our students for high school and eventually college and career ready. Academics is our focus and life-long learning is our future!
