1 Night, 1 Community

Our Mission

We are dedicated to putting students first, ensuring their academic and personal growth is at the forefront of all our efforts. By empowering our community with the resources, information, and support they need, we create an environment where every family can effectively contribute to student success. Our 1 Night, 1 Community initiative aims to gather our community together once a month to build community and provide time for families to participate in various meetings to help develop our school environment together.  We believe that by fostering a community of passionate families and engaged learners, we can prepare our students for bright futures and equip them with the skills necessary to be conscientious, compassionate, and responsible citizens of the world.
