Partnerships within the local, national, and global communities provide students enriching educational and life experiences. All students are involved in community partnerships that promote respect, honesty, service, and learning. A wide variety of expanded learning opportunities ensures a comprehensive education that prepares each student for success. The district is characterized as rigorously pursuing and securing additional funding to support student learning.
