Edison Middle School is fortunate to have a Community in School office located inside our school.  The CIS office assists both students and families with the resources needed to be successful both academically and socially. Our Community in Schools program surrounds students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.  By helping our most vulnerable students stay in school and succeed in life, we are building stronger, healthier and more economically stable communities where every person is capable of reaching his or her greatest potential.   For more information on Communities in Schools, please contact Mrs. Vivanco at 713-924-1800
