Our Commitment
We commit to learning with and for our community about the power of language, using what we learn to provide resources and support to our peers, and raising awareness about the power of language in shaping our lives and world. Through this commitment, students are able to develop critical thinking, explore cultural awareness, examine citizenship, and utilize varied modes of communication.
