Administrator's Creed
We are dedicated to ensuring that every child in America
receives a quality education. We care about our country by caring deeply about its
children. We believe that no barrier should separate a child from the best education
a school can offer . . . that neither race nor sex nor ethnic heritage nor geography nor
social or economic status may be used to deny a child the opportunity to acquire a solid
foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics . . . in critical thinking . . . and in
the values of friendship, compassion, honesty, and self-esteem. We are committed to
instructional excellence and we support the aspirations of teachers everywhere to give
each boy and girl a quality school experience during the crucial years of childhood.
We accept the challenge of the research showing that quality education in every
school depends on the expertise, dedication, and leadership of the principal of that
school. |
