School Compact

Vision Statement

As a community, we stretch for the horizon to attain a diverse community bound together by our commitment to prepare our young people to become caring, productive citizens in a dynamic and changing world.

Mission Statement

To provide a rich learning environment that challenges and supports all students in finding and developing their own gifts and continuing the journey to reach their potential.

A Family-School Compact for Achievement is an agreement that families, students, and teachers develop together. It explains how parents/guardians and teachers work together to make sure all students get the individual support they need to reach and exceed grade level standards.
