The steeper the mountain, the harder the climb, the better the view from the finish line. – Unknown

Public education faces a great many challenges. Our work is incredibly difficult; our work is essential to our future. We shape the next generation of American leaders. We create the future in a time of constant criticism, rapid change, and competing forces. We face a steep mountain; we have a hard climb ahead.

Each challenge provides an opportunity for great success. Each critic provides an opportunity for reflection and alignment. Every change requires us to embrace our growth mindset and live our passion for growth. We model the behavior not only for our students, but for our community. Our educational desires aren’t limited to students; we have a desire to educate parents and the community.

We have experienced success. We have enjoyed and celebrated the view from the finish line. We have made progress and redefined our edge. With each success we celebrate our accomplishment, we reflect on our journey, and we chart the path to pursue the next opportunity.
