Morning Announcements - Every morning, we have morning announcements. During the announcements, our students recite the Pledge of Allegiance, our SWIM Expectations, our School Vision, and their individual graduation year. We believe that students should understand that graduating from high school is one goal of their school experience.
Meetings - Every meeting, our staff celebrates something wonderful from their life. This keeps us aligned to our values!
Faculty Meetings - At every faculty meeting, our staff reviews the mission and values of our school community. Before any decision is made in a leadership, SIP, or faculty meeting, a justification has to be made as to how the decision aligns to our school values.
