Welcome to Alger Middle School (6-8)
Hello future families and thank you for your interest in Alger Middle School. It is my privilege to serve as the principal of Alger, a place where every scholar learns the skills they need to be successful through middle school and beyond.
Our Alger staff is dedicated to helping each scholar reach their fullest potential. We offer strong academic courses and lots of extracurricular opportunities that will allow your child(ren) to excel in and out of the classroom. Whether it's helping the school raise test scores, playing on the championship basketball team, or competing in state choir competitions, your child(ren) will certainly feel part of the Alger family. If you would like more information about becoming a Bengal, please schedule a tour or give us a call at 616-819-6200. We look forward to partnering with you!
