students build a solid foundation of knowledge in
language, arts, math, science, civics, and technology, it
must also help students develop broad competencies in
critical thinking, cooperation, and communication,
equipping them for success in college, in the workplace,
and in life.
By helping students to cultivate and develop their
broadest spectrum of abilities, we can prepare each one
to excel in the decades to come.

one idea, event, or practice builds on and evolves into
others; and, it illustrates how sweeping cycles repeat and
build, leading students to understand the evolutions of
