My mission is:

bullet To assist each student to reach their full potential in my class, academics, extra-curricular activities and ultimately, life.  I will help my student lift their self-esteem and confidence through self-discovery of their strengths and improving of their weaknesses.  I will treat each student with respect, and I will prove that I care by not giving up on any student.  I will hold my students accountable academically, socially and behaviorally.  I want students to leave my class knowing that they have what it takes to be successful.
