About Middle School South

History of Middle School South

GMSS opened its doors to learning in 1992. It became the third middle school constructed in the Gahanna-Jefferson School District. 

MSS strives to create an atmosphere where individuals develop to their academic potential, as well as their human potential. We are excited about the opportunity to meet you, and to work with you and your child.
