The 'C' in 'Connect' in my eyes stands for two things... 'Collaboration' and 'Community'. Never have I worked at a place, where I feel so valued, appreciated and respected, by colleagues and admin. I feel these pieces are why this school thrives so much. In addition to that, in the time I've been here I've gotten to know some exceptional students. The potential and hunger for success these scholars have is absolutely superb. With a combination of high expectations, hands on learning, and unconditional compassion, and understanding, our students will continue to SOAR!
