Purpose

The Curriculum & Instruction Department encourages and embraces creativity, diversity, and individuality in instructional practices and learning.  We continue to be committed to ensuring that our students are challenged to learn, grow and excel in a rigorous and challenging environment where they can compete and dominate in the larger global community.

We understand the challenges that the 21^st Century learner presents. Twenty First Century skills require proficiency in communication, collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and technological literacy. We recognize the challenges of today, while preparing our students for their tomorrow.

Beliefs

We believe high expectations, a safe, healthy school environment, a curriculum aligned to state, national and global standards, a caring staff, supportive parents and community members are essentials for student success.  

We believe that meaningful data and assessment, guides outstanding instruction.

We believe in the application of knowledge, instead of rote memorization.

Our blueprint to excellence is fixated on student growth, student enrichment, and student achievement.

 “Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.” Benjamin Franklin
