Commerce Middle School is proud to announce the 2025-26 Co-Valedictorians: Kynlee Hamilton and Conrad Harter. These two incredible young people will be honored at the CMS 8th Grade Promotion. 8th-Grade Promotion will take place on May 14th at 6:00 pm in the Commerce High School gym.

Today was a GREAT day at CMS! 💙🤍🖤
It was unofficially declared “Dean’s Day” as our staff honored Dean North in a very fitting way — by dressing like him, enjoying a special luncheon, and presenting him with some of the best golf balls and a card to celebrate his upcoming retirement. ⛳
Dean — or as many of us affectionately call him, Dean-O — has served our students and staff tirelessly for many years. His dedication, work ethic, sense of humor, and willingness to help with anything and everything have made a lasting impact on Commerce Middle School.
While we still have a little time left with him this year, today was a great opportunity to celebrate someone who has meant so much to CMS.
We love our Dean-O and are incredibly grateful for all he has done for our students, staff, and school community.
Congratulations on your upcoming retirement, Dean North — you’ve earned it! 💙🐯

🐅 Commerce Public Schools — Where Tiger Pride Runs Deep

The Lady Tigers made the long trip to Mannford this evening and came ready to compete. After a hard-fought first half, Rosalinda Morales found the back of the net with just 2:30 remaining, off a great assist from Allyson Schmidt, giving the Tigers a 1-0 lead at halftime.
The momentum carried into the second half, where Rosalinda added another goal to secure the win.
Final score: 2-0.
Great job, ladies, way to represent! ⚽🐅
