A safe and secure learning environment Edward Beck Assistant Principal G-L (Ext: 1 - 2063) is the foundation upon which a quality education takes place. The quality of that environment is largely dependent upon discipline, which is a joint responsibility of students, parents, teachers, Martin Freeman Assistant Principal MNPQR- (Ext: 1 - 2018) administrators, and community. Richard Moore Assistant Principal F, O & S-Z (Ext: 1 - 2017) In some instances, student self-discipline may be absent or substandard. Teachers, staff, and administrators are available and willing to aid in changing or altering such behavior. However, Doug McCallister Dean of Students (Ext: 1 – 2836) the school may not always be able to deal with the underlying causes of a behavioral problem or Erin Novak Dean of Students (Ext: 1 – 2837) prevent the problem from occurring. For these reasons, rules are necessary to allow every student the opportunity for an uninterrupted education.
