The Wonders of Adventure
This year’s school theme, "An Adventure Awaits," has truly guided us through an incredible journey of growth and leadership. In January, we were honored to be recertified as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. This recognition speaks volumes about our commitment to fostering a culture of student leadership, empowerment, and growth. We're proud of the strides we've made in establishing, building, and nurturing this environment where every student can thrive.
