Creating the Future, has four areas of focus: We will work in partnership with the community to increase student assets. We will work in partnership with the community to welcome and support diversity. We will develop and implement programs and practices that will address gender differences in student performance and other measures of success. We will maximize the achievement of all students by developing a clearly articulated curriculum and appropriate research based instructional strategies implemented by highly qualified staff.
