We believe in educating ourselves, our students, and our community. Education gives us historical context, a deeper understanding of current situations, and helps us to make informed decisions and opinions based on what we have learned. We believe education empowers people to have a voice and make positive change in the world.

We believe relationships create deeper empathy and understanding. When dignity is violated, we seek to restore the relationship through listening, perspective taking, and making amends for the wrongdoing.
