Our Vision and Instructional Focus

To promote a community of celebration, we will continue to highlight our student leaders with student-led assemblies, virtual and special events, and school activities. To encourage a culture of accountability, we will continue to maintain and analyze student data to implement specially designed instruction to best support our student subgroups in the blending learning environment. To apply regard, we will continue to encourage students and staff to adapt common goals and expectations.
