Welcome to E. F. Rittmueller Middle School!

At E. F. Rittmueller Middle School, we are committed to educating the whole child by fostering academic excellence while supporting the social, emotional, and physical growth that is so important during the middle school years. Our dedicated staff creates engaging learning experiences through hands-on, technology-rich, and collaborative instruction, helping students develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed. Beyond the classroom, our Eagles have opportunities to explore their interests through outstanding programs in the arts, physical education, communications, athletics, clubs, and a variety of extracurricular activities that encourage every student to discover their strengths.

As we begin another exciting school year, I am grateful to continue serving the Frankenmuth community as principal here at E.F. Rittmueller. With more than two decades in education as both a music educator and middle school principal, I remain passionate about creating a school where every student feels valued, challenged, and inspired to grow. My leadership is grounded in five core values: Diversity, High Expectations, Collaboration, Unity, and Confidence. These principles guide our work each day as we strive to provide an exceptional educational experience for every Eagle.

At EFR, we believe that strong relationships, meaningful learning, and a supportive school culture create the foundation for student success. Together with our students, staff, families, and community, we will continue building on the traditions of excellence that make EFR such a special place while embracing new opportunities to learn, lead, and grow.

Thank you for being a part of our Eagle family. We look forward to another incredible year of learning, achievement, and making memories together.

Go Eagles!
