PhilosophyThe main goal of education is to develop

each student to become the best that they

can be. Upon graduation each student

should be respectful, responsible,

demonstrate good decision making skills,

and be ready to contribute to society,

whether it be in the workforce or getting a

college education. The students should

also have the skills to live a healthy active

lifestyle. To do all of these things,

education must not be focused on a

couple of particular subject areas. We

must focus on educating the whole

student in all subject areas.
