Welcome to Pioneer Middle School

Pioneer opened its doors to students in the fall of 1949 as the first junior high school (grades 7,8, & 9) in Walla Walla . In the fall of 1990 the philosophy and programs were revised and Pioneer opened its doors for the first time as a middle school (grades 6,7, & 8).

On December 15, 1990 a major fire destroyed the middle section of the school building. This resulted in the closing of the Pioneer building and Pioneer students and staff were moved to the Garrison school site. Pioneer students double shifted at Garrison for about one year. On January 27, 1992 , following an extensive rebuilding effort, Pioneer again opened its doors for students. We are very proud of our new building and hope you are too. Let's work together to keep it looking nice for the many years to come.

Throughout Pioneer’s 55-year history students, parents and staff have worked together to establish a tradition of excellence. Together, we have achieved excellence in academic achievement, athletic contests, student activities and community service. We look forward to the continuation of this tradition through the efforts of present and future members of the Pioneer community.
