Each of our 46 schools reflect the diversity of our growing community. We are consistently ranked as one of the top academic school districts in the state, and our students and staff are recognized for their classroom and extracurricular achievements at both the state and national levels.

Educating today's young people to be tomorrow's productive citizens is a big task, and we know it is a job that involves the entire community. We believe public education is a partnership between students, teachers, parents, administrators, school staff, the elected Board of Education, and the public at large. Our goal is to provide the best education possible to each of our students, and we know that stakeholder involvement and public support are essential if we are to meet the many challenges ahead of us.
