The Principal's Take

The 2007-2008 school year has gotten off to a spectacular start. Our vision this year remains the same: "Excellence By Choice & Not By Chance." Throughout the building, our teachers are empowering our students to predict, discover, apply, create, and evaluate through innovative classroom, grade level and content-based initiatives, resource persons and upcoming field trips.

We are indeed a school where "Failure Is Not An Option."

Exemplary academic achievement, students active participation in new school-wide activities, ongoing student enrichment, and meaningful parental and community involvement will continue to be our major goals for the new year.

We humbly ask for all stakeholders full cooperation during this academic year as we endeavor, on a daily basis, to celebrate success: one student at a time.
