Our Theme
2022-2023 school year
For our 2022-2023 school year we created a theme to unite our campus! We chose “Be Fearlessly Authentic”
This theme will encourage our students to:
- feel safe and at home.
- make mistakes and learn from them.
- take leadership roles.
- become independent.
- pursue their dreams and passion without being discriminated against.
- have a direct and uninhibited communication access.
