Our Mission

We Support English Language Learners (ELL) in Achieving Academic and Social Success in Our Schools and Embracing the Culture of Our Community While Preserving Their Own Culture, Language and Identity.

Our Vision

We Empower ELL Students with the Skills They Need to Pursue Their Future Careers and Passions in Order to Make a Positive Contribution to Their Own Community and the World. 

Core Beliefs

• We believe the entire school community is responsible for the success of English Language Learners.  
• We believe the diversity of student languages and cultures are assets to our school community.
• We believe every student is entitled to quality instruction that gives them access to the concepts and content that are necessary for High School Graduation.
