We have the best faculty and staff- they do such an amazing job supporting and furthering our mission and charter goals- and I want to be their cheerleader and support them in doing what they do best- teaching. As a parent, and now administrator, it is paramount to me that we strive for a school that is safe for all of our children- a safe place to learn, grow, and develop into citizens that contribute to the good of the world.
