Our Mission
Our philosophy of education is based on the premise that each student is a unique and valuable individual and therefore deserving of equal opportunity in the educational process regardless of social class, race, sex, creed, or ability. We believe each student has the right to be treated in ways that show respect for his dignity as a human being and that will permit him to develop and retain respect for himself as a person. We possess the fundamental belief that every student is growth oriented with continually emerging capacities for experiencing, for learning, for feeling, and for behaving. Consequently, all students have the right to conditions, relationships, and experiences which will foster maximum development of potentials physically, socially, intellectually, and emotionally. Finally, we believe that education is a shared experience involving students, teachers, administrators, parents, and the community. We, therefore, endeavor to work in the community to achieve the education of the total person and to effect his development as a competent individual in society.

"Days"
Karle Wilson Baker
Some days my thoughts are just cocoons--all cold,
and dull and blind.
They hang from dripping branches in the grey woods of my mind;
And other days they drift and shine--such free and flying things!
I find the gold-dust in my hair, left by their brushing wings.
