Our high expectations of students are possible because our faculty and staff meet a high standard of professional and personal excellence in their work. All teacher candidate finalists spend a full day on campus and teach sample classes. We actively foster our employees' continuing growth through professional development funding and an environment characterized by open communication and collaboration and a strong sense of community. The combination of motivated students, engaged families, active institutional support, and highly-qualified employees makes this a dynamic learning community.
