Core Value of the Month: Leadership

"Leadership and learning are indispensable."- John F .Kennedy


Leadership is an essential part of learning and student attainment. It is not enough for students to simply learn; they must also develop the skills to become active leaders in society. Students will be empowered with the leadership skills to take responsibility for their lives and improve their community. We will emphasize social, civic, and leadership skills enabling students to contribute to, and benefit from, a culturally diverse society. We will offer a range of programs designed to provide leadership opportunities to students and staff.
