The school board answers to the taxpayers of our community. Tax dollars should be used to support and improve the education and experiences of our students

We Believe in a Safe Learning Environment

Fostering an environment of respect for both persons and property is critical to providing each student with an opportunity to thrive.

We Believe in Trusting and Respecting our Educational Professionals
