the power of serving others with humility. We will teach students
to look not only to their own interests, but also to the interests
of others.
Character- Students and staff will strive to live like
Jesus Christ and be a light at home, at school, at church, and in
the community. Whether in school or out, students and staff will be
challenged to honor those in authority, be characterized by the
fruit of the Spirit, behave responsibly, treat everyone
respectfully, and excel in all they do, for the glory of
God.
