We are a team. We work together with cohesive purpose. As a team we believe that purpose is to provide a safe and orderly environment where engaged learning takes place. We believe that all students can learn academically rigorous material when it is presented in a variety of ways to meet the needs of a diverse student body. We believe students should be engaged in relevant and authentic learning such that students become productive members of the school and the community at large. It is our genuine commitment to these ideals, our willingness to effect them and our caring attitude toward each other that fuels and informs all of our decisions and practices.
