Vision STATEMENT

We believe all students deserve individualized attention in a safe learning environment where high expectations are established and students are supported to achieve at the utmost level. We believe that all students deserve a rigorous curriculum, engaging instruction and extra help as needed in order to progress along the pathway to their personal, educational and career goals that are aligned with the students’ individual developmental needs. We believe students deserve to learn in an environment where they are culturally accepted and empowered to become independent thinkers and leaders in our community and world. All students deserve sound educational and career guidance so that they can develop meaningful educational and career goals. In addition, we believe all students deserve a school environment where they have the ability to express their concerns to qualified, caring adults that serve as an advocate for all students. We recognize and adhere to the ASCA (American School Counselor Association) ethical standards in order to maintain high standards of integrity, leadership and professionalism in our program for students, parents, staff and community members.
