RESILIENCE – We challenge students through demanding coursework and extracurricular involvement to demonstrate the courage to take positive risks, learn from mistakes, value perseverance and strive for excellence.
RESPONSIBILITY – We expect students to value diversity, demonstrate high moral character and commit to become caring, engaged citizens of a global community.
RESULTS – We create a passion for excellence through the collaborative efforts of staff, students, parents and the community. We develop students who possess positive self-esteem, feel confidently prepared for college or a career and commit to being lifelong learners.
