Beliefs
We believe that:
All children can learn. To meet the challenges of change, risk must be taken. Every student is entitled to an equal educational opportunity. It is our responsibility to enable students to succeed and become the best that they can be. All individuals should be treated with dignity and respect. The school system should be responsive to the diversity within our total population. The degree of commitment and level of involvement in the decision-making processes, from the student, community, home and school,
will determine the quality of education. Decisions should be based on the needs of the students. Achievement will rise to the level of expectation. Students should be taught how to learn. The educational process should be a coordinated system of services and programs.
