Core Values
We have HIGH EXPECTATIONS for academics and character:
- We challenge ourselves and each other to live up to high expectations for our school, our classrooms, and our individual achievements. We help each other persevere and act with integrity so that we can all become more than we ever thought possible.
We believe in EQUITY:
- Every person in our school community is respected, valued, and supported. We craft our inclusive community through reflection on our own and others’ experiences, perspectives, and identities in order to better understand the impacts of the systems we design and to create an environment in which everyone belongs.
We foster RELATIONSHIPS:
- Through respectful and strong relationships built on trust, we can hold each other to a higher standard, advance equity in our systems and programs, care for each other to promote belonging, and challenge each other to advance our growth.
