    Hey Longhorns,

    We Believe every student has a right to a socially, emotionally, and physically safe, positive school environment and students have a responsibility to express themselves and behave toward other students and staff with honesty, respect, and kindness.

    - Students have the right to be treated with respect and valued by the school community and students have a responsibility to be empathetic and mindful in how they act and show their thoughts and feelings to others.

     

    - Students have a right to inclusive teaching and learning environments in our classrooms and students have a responsibility to embrace their opportunities to learn by keeping open minds and hearts toward others. 

     

    - Students have the right to an equitable, quality education that prepares them for life beyond high school and students have a responsibility to take risks and explore what they’re capable of by seeking variety in what they learn.

     

    - Students have the right to freedom of expression within a place of learning that has clear guidelines and expectations and students have a responsibility to reveal their values, creativity, and opinions without harming others and with an understanding of differences.

     

    - Students have the right to shape decisions that affect their education and students have a responsibility to properly and clearly share their views on such matters when the opportunities arise to do so.

    Graduate Profile

    The Graduate Profile is a framework that outlines six skill areas that are important for everyone to master for success in school, career, and life. For our schools, the Graduate Profile provides a focus for teaching and learning. For students, it serves as a challenging set of elements to demonstrate by the time they graduate.
