It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to Porter Middle School, the finest in Los Angeles. We are proud of our staff, which is dedicated to the service of young people. We want to help you and will provide you with the opportunities to improve and develop. However, whether or not you attain your potential will depend primarily on the kind of job you do while you are here. If you decide that you are going to study and get the most that you possibly can out of school, you will succeed.
