About Us

We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.

Our Mission

We inspire students to take pride and responsibility in preparing for college and career.
