We believe all students can learn.

We believe in the value of diversity, and the opportunities such diversity brings to a democratic society.

We believe school makes a difference in the life of a student.

We believe the responsibility for the education of students is shared by students, parents, staff, and community.

We further believe we must provide an educational community that:

• maximizes the learning potential of every student.
• provides for equal access to educational opportunities.
• prepares students to participate in a democratic society.
• promotes the development of positive self image.
• responds to differences of talent, ability, interest and need.
• leads students to lifelong, self-directed learning.
• promotes physical fitness and appreciation of the fine arts.
• promotes commitment to purposes and causes which go beyond self-interest.
