Accountability (1st Term)
Holding self and others responsible for actions. Accept consequences for your actions – apologize, ask for help, clean up your mess and think of others before you act. You are always responsible for how you act, regardless of how you feel. “When you blame others, you give up your power to change.”

Being respectful shows someone that they are valuable and important.

Our
School’s
Song
Our School was born from a dream
Together holding hands
Building, learning, living, searching
A way to understand
Together for academic excellence
Always living in His presence
Stand up, walk tall, be proud of it all
Stand up, walk tall, show God’s love to all
Walk in His light, never lose sight
So shine your light, rejoice in His might
In our ways, we show our pride
In honor of our school
Holding hands stride for stride
In our hearts, God rules
