Our school opened in 1972 and our 840 student population is comprised of 57.2% ESOL and 82.7% FARMS. This coming year our students will participate in STEM coursework - a new position for our school. I am determined to provide an equitable educational experience for our amazing students. Our students are kind, respectful and grateful for every opportunity they are given in school. Though their lives are riddled with many hurdles and challenges, they are appreciative of their time in school. They deserve every chance at academic success. Help give my students a science lab! The STEM course is brand new at our school and we are starting from ground zero.
