Focus on Academics - We have created a curriculum with rigor and relevance. We expect each of you to take courses in the four core areas: English, Social Studies, Math, and Science.
-
Your GPA counts - At the High School level, every grade and every course counts toward determining you future opportunities. We encourage all students to set high expectations for grades.
-
EOC - It Counts! - Contrary to popular belief, ALL EOC's count. it determines future placement in courses and future scholarship opportunities.
