What is PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports. It seeks to reduce or eliminate unwanted, negative behavior school-wide through the recognition and encouragement of positive behaviors.

LOTUS School for Excellence
Lotus first opened its doors in August 2006 with a total of 147 students in grades 6 and 7. Each year after that, its enrollment increased gradually to finally reach over 900 students, with grades spanning from Kindergarten to 12th.

Today it is one of the most successful schools in Aurora.
