That’s why we take great pride in providing a nurturing and enriching environment for all our students to thrive in. With over eleven (11) organized clubs and sports teams, there are plenty of opportunities for students to explore their passions and interests beyond the classroom.

But it’s not just about the students; we value the active involvement of parents in their children’s educational journey. We offer a plethora of opportunities for parent engagement, ensuring that families feel a part of our vibrant school community.

We understand that a well-rounded education goes beyond academics, which is why we provide overall family support services and social emotional development support through partnerships with Rincon Family Services and other esteemed partners.
