Home of the PanthersPershing Middle School

Pershing Middle School, founded in 1964, is a middle school in the San Diego Unified School District. It is named after John J. Pershing and is located on San Carlos Drive in the community of San Carlos in San Diego.

The twenty-eight acre site for the John J. Pershing Middle was fully completed on January 2, 1964, consisting of one-story buildings with outside corridors. There are twelve separate buildings housing thirty classrooms, the cafeteria, auditorium, physical education facilities and general offices.

In 2009, Pershing's physical education fields were given a make-over which included one of the largest artificial turf fields in California. This project saves millions of gallons of water per year. (click here to read more).

A most recent makeover began at the end of the 2014 school year and took approximately 18 months to complete. It includes new fencing, landscaping, air-conditioning in all rooms and offices, lighting, PA System, and electronic marquee. The student bathrooms closest to the 100 & 200 buildings received a makeover as well as the PE department. The office also receive a complete makeover. All areas of the campus were brought up to ADA standards.

Enjoying the Mission Trails Visitor's Center, hiking at Cowles Mountain, running, walking, and fishing at Lake Murray, and the programs and weekend sports at the San Carlos Recreation Center are all very important parts of our active community. Pershing + San Carlos = An Outstanding School in a Wonderful Community.
