About
Our mission is to create a climate that promotes excellence in learning. Our students develop into intelligent, critical thinkers who are supportive members of their communities. We accomplish this through collaboration and a personal learning atmosphere. Our culture celebrates success with high expectations for students as well as adults. The students will be immersed in the study, inquiry, and advocacy of law, with required involvement in community service, thus enabling them to realize their individual potential throughout the greater community. Our hope is that students will view themselves as pioneers of the new millennium, and we expect them to be counted among the great success stories of tomorrow.
