My students are bright individuals that work very hard for their education. My students are funny, caring, unique and inquisitive about everything. Our school is a downtown school that serves to mostly free and reduced lunch students. We are an International Baccalaureate school and we have high expectations that students will make a positive impact in their world regardless of where they come from. I encourage and challenge my students to be the best person at home, at school and in their community.
