Our mission is to challenge and motivate each student to achieve his or her full potential as a responsible member of our diverse community in a safe learning environment that promotes intellectual growth, health, creativity, and respect for self and others. We are committed to helping learners acquire and use knowledge, communicate effectively, and become responsible and respectful active individuals in their community. We also challenge our students to take personal responsibility for their education and to apply their learning to a diverse and changing world. To nurture in each student feelings of self-confidence and pride in accomplishment. To create in each student an awareness of a world of rapid change and unforeseeable demands in which continuing education throughout adult life will be a normal expectation.
