We are an inner city Middle School. A large percentage of our students receive free lunch. They wear uniforms everyday and are expected to exemplify the high standards that were established in the school plan at it's inception in 2003. Our scholars are taught that it is important to care for others who are less fortunate than themselves. We are very involved with feeding the homeless, collecting canned goods, collecting baby clothes for orphans in Africa, marching/walking for breast cancer, and numerous other community service projects. Our scholars are energetic, bright and talented.
