High School
Imagine a high school where...
- academic rigor is built around each student's unique gifts and passions rather than a one-size-fits-all model of multiple choice testing.
- restorative practices meet discipline and accountability, emphasizing the inherent worth and dignity of each student.
- each student has a place to belong.
- teachers are empowered to teach in a way that called them to the profession in the first place.
- art and music are part of the core curriculum.
Imagine a high school whose mission statement and faith foundation calls students to serve others and to a life of integrity.
These are just some of the dreams we are working to make reality every day.
