"To create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage."

- Georgia O'Keefe

Mission Statement

We strive to prepare all students to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens ready to meet the challenges of the future. In partnership with families and community, our goal is to create relevant learning opportunities for students -- both inside and outside the classroom -- that help them develop the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and character necessary to succeed in a technologically advanced world. We honor quality and enable students to perform at their highest level of ability.
