MISSION STATEMENT
SAFETY EQUITY EXCELLENCE
Safety – Keeping schools safe allows children to look forward to being in an encouraging environment that promotes social and creative learning.
Equity – Equity is crucial in classrooms to ensure that all students get to the same positive outcomes regardless of where they started or what unique challenges they might experience.
Excellence – An excellent education is something that imparts in you a perpetual thirst for learning. It is something that inspires you to learn rather than just study. Excellence teaches you to live life rather than just earning a livelihood.
