    A Message From Our Principal

    As your principal, it is my responsibility to address concerns that impact our school community. Recently, there have been instances of conflicts and fighting within our school, and I feel it is crucial to address this issue openly.

    Our school is a place of learning, growth, and respect. Every student deserves to feel safe and supported in their academic journey. It is disappointing  to see behaviors that go against the values we hold dear.

    Conflict is a natural part of life, but it is important] that we approach it in a healthy and constructive manner. Violence and fighting are never acceptable solutions to problems. Instead, let us focus on having restorative conversations,  and understanding to resolve conflicts.

    I encourage each and every one of you to take a moment to reflect on your actions impact the school.  Whether you run towards the fight, record the fight, share the fight, and or instigate the fight, all this contributes to the unacceptable behavior at school.  If you find yourself in a difficult situation, please reach out to a teacher, counselor, or any trusted adult who can help mediate and provide support.

    Our school is committed to creating a positive and safe environment where everyone can thrive academically and socially. Let us work together to restore the justices; a culture of respect, kindness, and cooperation. Remember, we are a community, and it is up to each one of us to contribute positively to the well-being of our school.

    If you have any concerns or suggestions, please feel free to share them with administration or the school counselors. Let's work together to make our school a place where everyone feels valued and safe.
