We are a unique school. We do things much differently than most and we are proud of it. We expect teachers to do 3 things all of the time - 1) Push our kids every single day to reach the unimaginable, 2) Support your colleagues, and 3) Have a freakin' awesome time with your colleagues and kids. This describes our school culture. 

Additionally, we expect our teachers to  . . .

- go above and beyond for our kids without fail

- arrive on time for your work day

- communicate with parents continuously

 - work after hours and on weekends when necessary 

- control and manage our students at all times

- be creative
