Our Staff
Our staff members work hard to ensure that students are safe, supported, and cared for—from the classroom to the cafeteria, and beyond.
Our core values
We don’t teach our students to be smart—we R.A.I.S.E. them to be leaders.
The R.A.I.S.E. leadership program takes education beyond the classroom and into the real world, actively developing leadership skills that will serve our students for the rest of their lives. When students and faculty work together to instill R.A.I.S.E. values, we create an exceptional learning environment for all.
