Harry S. Truman Middle School is a technologically supported middle school opened September, 1996 with approximately 1100 students. The school is designed with classrooms located in two villages. Each village contains several possible grade level combinations. The family teams are clustered together and open onto common learning courts. The other grade level teams are close-by. This arrangement is the ultimate expression of cohesive middle school design as exemplified by "Caught in the Middle." Not only does this design promote a feeling of belonging for the students, the closeness and the connectedness of the rooms allows for strong interdisciplinary instruction, cross-age teaching and whole village learning opportunities. Although designed for the 21st century, it delivers learning in a "country school" family setting. The entire Truman Middle School administration, faculty, and support staff believe all children can learn in a safe, educationally challenging, and culturally diverse environment that cherishes the uniqueness of each child. Through modeling and a variety of instructional strategies the faculty and staff will encourage and  nurture students to succeed, be their best, and be productive citizens of their community.

Truman Middle School is one of eight middle schools in the Fontana Unified School District. Over the past few years the student population in the district has changed rapidly.  Truman currently has a population of approximately 1172 students in grades 6-8. The students come from diverse backgrounds, including 81.3% Hispanic, 10.1% White/Non-Hispanic, 5.7% African-American, 1.7% Asian, and 1.2% Other ethnic backgrounds.
