Our Values

We work together with passion, kindness, and positivity in service of our students and in alignment with our values:

We put children first. Our highest priority is our children, and all our decisions and actions are based on what’s best for them. We put our children’s needs before our own. 

We are positive. We treat one another with kindness. We don’t engage in negativity, complaining, divisiveness, or gossip. We energize one another with positive talk, attitudes, and actions. 

We hold ourselves accountable for results. We assume personal accountability for producing amazing outcomes. We do not blame or make excuses, we work incredibly hard. 

We are passionate and driven to excellence. We are relentless about excellence, not satisfied with incremental gains. We work with seriousness, resilience, and urgency. 

We are entrepreneurial. We take initiative and work with ingenuity. When a problem arises, we work together, figure out a solution, and take ownership to implement it fast. 

We practice culturally responsive education. We offer all students equal access to a rich, meaningful, and cognitively demanding curriculum and ambitious instruction.

We revere teaching. We believe that no calling is more noble than teaching as a life’s work. 

We work as a team. We put the interests of the group above those of the individual. We are one community: there is no “them,” only us!

We are continually improving and learning. We believe humility is the foundation of great teaching and great work. We put in the time and effort to constantly refine all that we do.

We assume the best of one another. We listen thoughtfully to one another. We work through disagreement by seeking to understand. We are trusting and trustworthy.
