My students are part of a small, rural community. They are hardworking, honest, and very traditional. The school is small and hardworking as well. The elementary, middle school, and high school are housed in one building. We are not only connected by our walls, but our philosophy, too. Our motto is "Whatever it takes, our students are worth it." We understand the reality that for children in poverty, success in school is really a matter of life and death. We strive to supply our students with meaningful learning opportunities and the chance to contribute back to their community in a meaningful way.
