Our innovative blended-learning approach to education gives students the ability to learn at their own pace. And each individualized learning plan uses the latest technology to connect students to the world beyond the classroom.

In 2011, our school completed a $16.5 million renovation that included the construction of a new common area for student dining, as well as a major renovation to restore the school’s original 1930s auditorium. The media center was also upgraded to include two computer labs, a small group room and a team room.
