As we wrap up this school year we are naturally focused on the Class of 2023. Our goal is for every student to SOAR after graduation, ensuring they are empowered with the skills necessary to succeed after high school, regardless of the pathway they choose. SOAR is the third and final Long Term Student Outcome of the All Together for All Students Strategic Plan.

We work throughout the school year to ensure that students have nutritious and tasty meals. It’s important to keep this going over the summer to give students the best chance to feel healthy, both physically and mentally. The School Food project covers the connection between mental health and nutrition, and shares community food resources.
