The responsibility of education is a collaborative effort that links students, parents, educators,
and communithy working together to create an atmosphere for success. We must all work
together as partners to create an atmosphere as we strive for success. We must do whatever it
takes to ensure students are provided with a challenging and enriched standards-based
curriculum.
