Focus on Learning
To continue growing as an organization, everyone must have access to learning opportunities that encourage ongoing growth and development.
Accelerated Programs
These programs are designed to meet the learning styles and needs of students with superior intellectual, academic, and creative abilities.
Special Education
Special education is not a “place:” rather, it is a set of services. The district’s goal is to partner with families regarding the individual needs of children.
Career & Technical Education
Career and technical education (CTE) courses and programs help prepare students for a wide range of post-secondary high demand, skill, and wage opportunities.
Curriculum
Provides leadership for standards-based teaching and assessing to increase student access and engagement, close achievement and opportunity gaps, and support student learning and success.
Intervention Services
Intervention services help students acquire English language proficiency, services for Native American students, and services designed to help mitigate the effects of poverty on student learning and success in school.
English Learners
The EL program supports students in developing English language proficiency and academic success in all areas.
Focus on Results
To be the best school district in the world, we are committed to high quality implementation of practices that produce positive change and sustainable transformation.
