Our district has a deep tradition of success due to our dedicated teachers and staff, parental involvement, community support, and engaged school board members. We must all share the responsibility of instilling in our children a strong belief that learning must be a high priority. We truly believe our schools provide students with an array of opportunities. We strive to provide our students with a rigorous and relevant educational experience while illustrating the powerful connection between effort and achievement. We hope that through these endeavors our students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to be successful in life beyond high school.
