School for Excellence Mission Statement

The school for Excellence will develop in all students strong intellectual and critical thinking skills in literacy, social studies, mathematics and science in order to inform a strong sense of social responsibility. Through our multicultural curriculum that integrates the creative arts within the instruction of academic courses, students’ perceptions will be extended beyond their immediate circle to encompass a broader world-view.

Teachers, students, parents, school leaders and community organizations work cooperatively to guide students towards innovation, independence, and success. Our graduates depart with the ability to succeed in college and with a firm understanding of and desire to achieve specific career goals.

Instructional Focus

If teachers plan for standards-aligned curriculum and collaborate to establish common instructional practices based on student performance data, students will engage deeply with rigorous texts resulting in higher levels of thinking, writing and speaking.
