Principal, Robert Canosa-Carr has devoted considerable time, energy and expertise to realizing the goal of providing smaller learning communities that foster a more personalized learning experience for our students which not only enhances learning, but makes for a safer school as well.

There are four Academies. Each academy is autonomous and functions as a team to establish relationships among students, teachers, parents, counselors, and staff. The ultimate goal of the Academies is to prepare students for their goals and aspirations beyond high school graduation.

Freshman Academy "Preparation for Success"
In the Freshman Academy, all students are placed on a team of three to four teachers who not only share students but also share a common conference period in order to meet and collaborate to serve our student community in an effective manner

Sophomore Academy “Career and Choice” continues the structure of the Freshman Academy. There will be three team teachers with 100% shared students. It prepares students to choose a career sector to be completed during their junior and senior year in one of the Small Learning Communities.
