Our district's founding father Dr. Floyd Buchanan, preached "it's people not programs" and "if you want to be a winner you need to surround yourself with winners." The cornerstone of any good organization is the quality of its people. We hire educators who are role models, willing to work together, filled with a passion to serve their community, and committed to providing the very best educational experience possible for our students.

We also believe "the greater the expectation the greater the achievement." The bar will be set very high in regard to achievement, effort, and attitude for our students, staff and community, as we form a partnership to provide exemplary academic and co-curricular programs. We will do everything first class! Finally, one of our district's most important core values is embodied in the statement "a fair break for every kid." We are committed to establishing a safe and inclusive environment, with relevant and rigorous programs that are designed to meet the needs of all students.
