School District Philosophy:

 

The School District, in an active partnership with parents and community, will promote excellence in a caring environment in which all students learn and grow.  This partnership aims to empower all students to develop strong self-respect and to become responsible learners and decision-makers.  The School District is committed to developing and using a visionary and innovative curriculum, a knowledgeable and dedicated staff, and sound fiscal and management practices.
