    Core Beliefs

    All individuals have intrinsic worth. All individuals can learn. Learning depends upon basic needs (physical and emotional) being met. Understanding diversity enriches learning. The integration of academic and career and technical education maximizes learning. Positive adult role models encourage students to fulfill their potential. An environment where innovation is encouraged promotes learning. The community is responsible for working with the schools to ensure the welfare of children. Schools have the responsibility of promoting lifelong learning. All students have the final responsibility of ensuring their own success.
