As a district, we are grateful for the caliber of students who walk through our doors daily, parents who are vested in their children’s education and development, and a community that goes to great lengths to support its schools.

“We are proud of this performance, but we’re even more proud of what it represents,” Superintendent Emily Miller said. “A 90% three-year composite demonstrates a commitment to growth. That doesn’t happen by accident.”
