OUR MISSION

To provide a strong education for all of our students, enabling them to become participatory citizens in a democratic society, life-long learners, and productive, working members of their local communities.

We Believe:

  • All students can learn.
  • It is the responsibility of the entire school community to help students learn.
  • Our educational environment must meet the needs of a diverse student body through differentiated instructional methods.
  • Students must participate and share in the responsibility for their own learning.
  • Each student's culture and heritage enriches the entire school community and must be respected and nurtured.
