TEACHERS/STAFF
At the start of every school day, each student is welcomed with a firm handshake and greeting by a school leader or faculty member. Our faculty and staff represent some of the brightest minds in education and hail from some of the top colleges and universities in the United States.
Most importantly: our staff members CARE about our students and do ALL they can to help them succeed.
