Welcome to Loretta Johnson Middle School, named in honor of Loretta Johnson, a trailblazing educator and administrator. Ms. Johnson's remarkable career in the Rochester school district began in 1969 when she moved to Rochester and taught elementary school. She made history by becoming the first woman to lead the district as Interim Superintendent from 1994 to 1995. At Loretta Johnson Middle School, we celebrate her pioneering spirit and dedication to education, striving to empower our students with the same passion for learning and leadership that Ms. Johnson exemplified throughout their career.
