PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Dear Parents and Students:

Each member of the School of Law & Public Service team has made an informed choice to be an integral part of our school. Each member has also made a commitment to do whatever it takes to help all students to develop their academic and leadership skills.

We stand at a very special point in time. Educational research clearly states that ALL students, regardless of socio-economic status or ethnicity, can learn when provided with high expectations, rigorous standards, and exceptional teaching. There are no more excuses for students, parents, teachers and school administrators! There are also no shortcuts on the road to high achievement.

To meet this challenge, we must work collaboratively as educators, students, parents and community members. We must be able to rely on one another. Our relationships will grow stronger as we build trust and learn to value one another's unique skills and contributions. Ultimately, our relationships and efforts will yield outstanding results in student learning.

The School of Law & Public Service (LPS) has experienced success in its first three years of operation. There is even greater excitement as we strengthen our school culture and fortify our educational program.

Consistency is an important factor in student achievement. Parental involvement is also a crucial component in creating a learning community that meets the safety and academic needs of all LPS students.

I look forward to working with you to prepare our students to graduate ready for a four-year college and committed to service and excellence.
