Challenges and Opportunities
Social Emotional Well Being
Ensuring the social emotional well being of our school community: our students, their families, teachers and administrators for both Covid and non-Covid related issues.
Academic Excellence
Creating pathways for all our students to achieve academic excellence. Academic excellence is not determined by grades or standardize tests alone. Academic excellence embodies the total academic experience.
Diversity and Inclusion
Educating and celebrating the diversity of race, culture and all human identities. It's also establishing opportunities for all our students to participate in academic, social, recreational and community activities. Inclusion focused education and activities allow us the opportunity to create a diverse community.
