OUR MISSION:

...is to educate and empower all students to strive for excellence as life-long learners who embrace diversity and are contributing members of a global society. 

WE BELIEVE THAT:

  • all people can learn, contribute and have value
  • embracing and understanding cultural diversity is imperative to strengthening and enriching a school community
  • when a school community provides a respectful, safe, supportive, resource-rich environment, people thrive and meet their goals
  • a school district excels when strong partnerships exist among families, schools and community
  • educating the whole child will develop life-long learners who are compassionate, confident, critical thinkers
  • a school district is responsible for aligning and carrying out the conditions for learning, leadership and commitment
