Myself

Our students learn to think about how their own life experience and how they fit into their community. We approach this through critical problem solving and design thinking. We know that students need authentic real world opportunities to test their problem solving skills and to grow as individuals.

My Community

Students need to take pride and responsibility for their community. Our students have the opportunity to meet with local members of the community for real world experience in career pathways and to plan for life after graduation.

My Nation

Our students think beyond our local community by learning how to identify issues and develop solutions at the state and national level. Through this, they learn how to make positive changes in the nation.
