Student Motto: Be Safe. Show Respect. Work Hard. Finish Strong. Help Someone. Be You!

Connecting to foster the minds and hearts of leaders.

Students need engaging and relevant learning opportunities. 

Students need to be active participants in learning. 

All students can learn and show learning with the appropriate tools, resources, approaches, and relationships.

Parent and guardian engagement in education is integral to student success.

We value the mental, physical, social, and emotional well-being of every student. Strong connections and relationships help us to develop a growth mindset to do hard things – such as new learning, apologies, long-term projects, critical thinking, and appreciating differences of opinion. We value honesty, respect, courage, kindness, and leadership, and believe in using our strengths to help others in the community and in the world. Just as our community is diverse, so are we. Valuing different languages, cultures, and abilities helps us to be better together.
