Rising Together is the slogan that will guide us this academic year. It is a commitment to move our community beyond the effects of the pandemic and to excel. While COVID is still with us and we are vigilant, we are thankfully no longer in the emergency mode we've been in for the last four and a half years. We can now hit the gas with a sense of urgency as we reset our school culture to focus on learning, and raise our expectations in the classroom so our students are challenged and supported to do their best.
