Core Values

Our core values affirm what we stand for and how we treat each other. These values define who we are as a school district—individually and collectively.

Every Student

We put students at the heart of everything we do, and we are guided by the academic, social, emotional and physical needs of our students. Our work is to provide a meaningful, challenging education that connects all students to learning and honors their unique gifts.
