Principal Mr. Travis Brown Travis.Brown@stjohns.k12.fl.us I would like to welcome all our Bulldog community to R.J. Murray Middle School. Our school motto is “One Team, No Limits” and that is best exemplified by the ideal that we are all working together to ensure our students reach their maximum potential. RJMMS has a rich and historic past and our students have a very bright future. By working together, we can ensure our students reach and exceed all of their goals. Throughout my instructional career I have served in many roles. I began my career teaching a variety of subjects in the social sciences before transitioning to the role of Program Specialist for Secondary Social Studies and Advanced Programs for SJCSD. In 2015, I moved to the position of Assistant Principal at St. Augustine High School and oversaw Curriculum and Guidance. In 2019 I was fortunate enough to be offered the opportunity to become Principal of R.J. Murray Middle School. As a lifelong learner and advocate for students, I feel very fortunate having the opportunity to join the RJMMS Bulldog Family! |

I began my career as an educator in St. Johns County 13 years ago at Pedro Menendez High School. 8 years as a teacher in Architectural Drafting and AVID, 2 years as a Dean of Students, and 3 years as the Program Specialist in charge of the career and technical education programs. My education includes a Bachelors Degree in Building Construction Management from the University of North Florida and a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership from the University of West Florida. I am excited to grow as an educational leader and learn from the amazing staff at R.J. Murray Middle School. I look forward to fully embracing the “One Team, No Limits” motto as a team player and be someone who helps students and staff reach their fullest potential. Go Bulldogs! |
