Our Belief Statements

We believe that quality instruction is best supported through a relevant, challenging, innovative, and articulated curriculum.

We believe that all members of the learning community have the responsibility of promoting student well-being, including social, emotional, physical, and mental health.

We believe that accomplishing personally set goals can promote personal excellence and a healthy sense of self.

We believe that individuals learn in different ways and at different rates. Therefore, we need to be flexible, open-minded, and creative.

We believe in the power of equity in education by meeting and engaging the diverse needs of students, which ultimately empowers them to find their true potential and be productive in the life and career paths of their choosing.

We believe that students need tools for thriving in a changing world. These tools include opportunities to develop skills (such as adapting, adjusting, seeking, and accepting change).

We believe in opportunities for growth and support provided through relevant partnerships in the community.

We believe that students, families, school staff, and community members share responsibility for developing academically, socially, and behaviorally responsible citizens. We further believe that all members of our learning community should take pride in their roles; commit to excellence; and demonstrate compassion, empathy, and respect.

We believe that collaboration skills are important to foster in adults and students alike.

We believe in making today’s decisions with an eye to the future so that the school district may deliver exceptional results over a sustained period of time.
