School Info

Being a student at James Workman Middle School means much more than simply showing up with a backpack and leaving with homework assignments.  At JWMS, students and staff communicate, learn, and create in a growing technology-based environment.  Our mascot, the Bighorn, embodies strength and perseverance - two qualities that our students possess.

James Workman Middle School (JWMS) is one of five middle schools in the Palm Springs Unified School District, proudly serving students in grades 6–8. Located in Cathedral City, JWMS draws the majority of its student population from the north side of the city, along with a small group of students from the eastern edge of neighboring Palm Springs.
