As a school community we believe that we must:

• model an attitude of personal, professional, and institutional excellence

• respect the diversity of our multi-cultural society by recognizing and

affirming the inherent worth and dignity of all people

• encourage non-traditional career path choices by actively working to

eliminate racial, cultural, and gender biases

• continually develop curricula that nurture students’ self-esteem and

inspire them to strive to reach their full potential

students can succeed
