I want to encourage students to know and put to use the rules of the English language and to appreciate all our language has to offer.  I want them to expand their vocabulary and use it effectively to their benefit.  I also want them to enjoy reading and to learn more about themselves through literature.

I expect my students to adopt and prectice the leadership characteristics of CHARACTER, HONOR, INTEGRITY, RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, AND EXCELLENCE to develop pride in themselves, first and foremost, and in their school.  Their success on all levels will then be inevitable.
