Catherine M. McGee Middle School is a public middle school located in Berlin, Connecticut. The current school building on Norton Road was opened in 1969 and as of 2007, serves grades 6-8. An addition was added in 1996, which included a new state of the art library media center, new science labs, and nine additional classrooms. Technological upgrades during the spring and summer of 2007 included the installation of LCD projectors in all core classrooms, with interactive white boards being installed in approximately three-quarters of those rooms.

There are 61 full-time teachers, with a ratio of 12 students to one teacher, slightly lower than the national average.^[1]

In 2004, the school's principal at the time, Carol Janssen, was named Connecticut's Principal of the Year.^[2]
