Wendy Lagareta Quotations

I think it's our food service. We're able to offer our children breakfast and lunch that's really good. The whole concept is based on choice. We offer fresh fruit every morning and for lunch we have a salad bar offered every day.

Mark Guillermo, our school counselor. He's very visible on campus. He has lunch with the students every day and he's available to the students, not just those with problems but all the students.

We are a school of choice. We receive more applications for students than we can select. Parent involvement is part of the mission of our school. The community of learners includes the parents.

Doing more with less. We receive less per pupil funding than DOE (state Department of Education) schools. We have learned to prioritize our budget and to put our money where our vision is.
