Philosophy All Children are unique and should be treated with respect and dignity Every student can succeed Learning is a lifelong process Fostering a positive self-image is the collaborative effort of the school, home, and community that leads to responsible and productive citizenship. The diverse needs of all students must be addressed at all educational levels through the guidance and counseling program. Every student needs appropriate personal and social skills to achieve optimum benefits from the educational program.
