I believe in the value of a quality public education and that every student deserves a safe place to learn, grow, and be inspired to dream and succeed without limits.
Opportunities for all—no exceptions.
Opportunities for all—no exceptions.
Our students should be well prepared to pursue their dreams for their future, and they should have the tools to be informed citizens in our democratic society. Our community only truly succeeds when each student, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status, is given the opportunity to be welcomed into their classrooms, to thrive in school, to experience a wide range of opportunities, and be challenged to grow to their fullest potential.
A wide range of experiences at every level
A wide range of experiences at every level
We need to provide the widest range of opportunities possible, starting in elementary school so our kids can truly connect with their education and grow in whatever direction they possibly can. This includes a wide range of experiences and opportunities: in music, career & technical education, the arts, science & engineering, sports, social sciences, or any combination of those.
Every voice must be heard & valued.
Every voice must be heard & valued.
As a school district community, it is critically important that we not only value each and every one of our students as individuals, but that we value their voices and those of their families. Parents send us their best – their kids – and should be our strongest partners in the education of their children. We must also highly value the voices and expertise of our staff, from our quality teachers and administrators to the bus drivers, secretaries, cooks, and custodians who help us educate and nurture our students.
Our society depends on strong public schools.

Our society depends on strong public schools that not only provide students with a quality basic skill set, but which also challenge and inspire them to grow. Students should be able to think critically and effectively and be ready to participate as well-rounded citizens in the democratic experiment that is America.
