One of our core beliefs is "continuous improvement is an institutionalized habit". Our teachers and district staff work very hard to meet the individual needs of each student through differentiated instruction as well as English as a Second Language, Special Education, Gifted, and other support systems. The foundation for all of our academic efforts is the Search Institute's framework for the 40 Developmental Assets. The 40 Developmental Assets are the positive experiences and personal qualities that young people need to grow up healthy, caring, and responsible.

One of our core beliefs is "the fundamental purpose of school is learning, not teaching."
