School Mission
To equip our students with the academic, social, and emotional skills they need to succeed in life.
School Vision
Through the work of all we will engage students in the pursuit of academic excellence.
School INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS
Students will incorporate literary and content area vocabulary across all domains, resulting in stronger discussion and writing. This develops critical thinking skills, comprehension and communication skills as it prepares students to become 21st century, life-long learners.
