Message from the Director
Education is my passion! I am very excited to return to Lakehead Public Schools to work together with our staff to implement best practices and to enhance academic excellence for all students. As I continue my journey with Lakehead Public Schools alongside our team of talented staff, I am grateful for the opportunity to lead and inspire the direction of the Board and advance the progress of the Strategic Plan. I am honoured to present to you the Director’s Annual Report 2021-2022, a report to the community on program achievements and student success accomplishments as well as improvements to our learning and working environments. This plan outlines our progress on the Strategic Plan’s principles of Belong, Achieve, Reconcile, Lead, and Inspire.
Last year, schools and programs focused on creating welcoming environments for students and staff as students returned to schools following the pandemic. Schools were open and operational for most of the year and students and staff strengthened friendships and bonds and reestablished themselves in our welcoming, equitable, accessible, and inclusive environments. Schools were proud to reflect the diversity of their community and, in doing so, encouraged all to feel that they belong.
Academic achievements were seen at every level, from Kindergarten students beginning their journey to becoming bilingual in the French Immersion program, to an increase in outdoor and experiential learning spaces in our schools, to the Grade 12 graduates proudly continuing on the next steps in their chosen pathway with their Ontario Secondary School Diploma in hand. I am pleased to report that in addition to graduation awards, many distinguished achievement awards were presented to both students and staff last year. For example, the esteemed Xavier Michon Memorial Award was presented to Grade 10 Westgate CVI student Amber Fenton in recognition of her leadership abilities and her academic achievement, including her final mark of 99% in her Pre-workplace Program General Learning Strategies class. Superior CVI cooperative education teacher, Mr. Jerry Slobojan, was awarded the Ontario Cooperative Education Association George King Award of Excellence for making long-lasting contributions to cooperative education across Ontario for the past 14 years. These highlights are two examples of many success stories of students and staff at Lakehead Public Schools.
I invite you to read the Director’ s Annual Report 2021-2022 to learn about the many accomplishments and successes achieved by Lakehead Public Schools last year. The report reflects the Board’s commitment to the success of every student.
Sherri-Lynne Pharand,
Director of Education
Message from the Chair
It is with great pride that I reflect upon the achievements of Lakehead Public Schools over the past year. As we all know, the pandemic continued to impact schools, teaching, learning, and all aspects of education. Once again, on behalf of all trustees, I thank all staff for their continued dedication and exemplary work under such trying circumstances. Happily, children are back together and experiencing the full spectrum of activities at our schools.
The past school year was the first full year of the implementation of the new Strategic Plan and the Indigenous Education Framework. At the heart of this bold plan is inclusion and belonging, and as the Plan and Framework are implemented, our school Board continues to actively work on reconciliation.
Last year, there was a continued commitment to Indigenous cultural teachings, land-based learning, and Native Language classes. The KZ Lodge cultural academies continued to be well-established at Hammarskjold High School and expanded to Westgate CVI to bring traditional teachings to students in partnerships with the Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre and others. Students learned the Seven Grandfather Teachings, tanned deer hides, and gathered traditional medicines in a positive and encouraging environment.
Summer learning programs continued to grow with Mino Bimaadiziwin, credit recovery, pre-Kindergarten, and other opportunities. Students benefitted from these important initiatives.
Mental health supports were available for students and staff and our mental health team worked hard to improve services in times of need.
For Pride Month in June, schools recognized Pride by flying the Progress Pride flag or the Pride flag, and the Progressive Pride flag was raised at the Jim McCuaig Education Centre. Each school celebrated Pride with special activities. Students could feel and see what inclusion means.
Lakehead Public Schools is a dynamic place. During the last year, students benefitted from the outdoor learning at Kingfisher Education Centre and many outdoor classrooms, as well as hands-on programs such as the Specialist High Skills Major program. Modern science labs and specialty classrooms – such as our exemplary art, cooking, and theatre classrooms – were proudly utilized.
With the excellence we see in our schools and throughout Lakehead Public Schools, trustees regularly recognize staff, volunteers, and students with the Trustee Award of Excellence. We welcome nominations and look forward to recognizing exciting and dedicated excellence.
Trustee responsibilities include policy development and approval, developing and monitoring the Strategic Plan, hiring the director of education, and passing the budget. This year we are very proud to introduce our new director of education, Sherri-Lynne Pharand. We are equally proud of having passed a balanced budget. Trustees look forward to visiting schools and staff at school events and learning of the fantastic work that parents, volunteers, staff, and the community contribute to our incredible organization. We thank you and appreciate you all. We know we all belong here together.
Ellen Chambers,
Chair
BELONG
At Lakehead Public Schools, we are committed to providing a safe, welcoming, equitable, accessible, and inclusive environment that reflects the diversity of our community. We are committed to equity, anti-racism, and anti-oppression to foster a school community within which every student and staff feels accepted and welcomed to be actively engaged, and to promote an environment for students to express themselves and their identities.
In 2021-2022, Lakehead Public Schools developed equity, diversity and inclusion resources including the Education Equity Plan 2021-2024, the Holy Days list, and the Days of Significance list. These resources are important reminders of rights-based issues, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and serve as a valuable tool for education. Additional work that was done over the past year in the areas of equity, anti-racism, and anti-oppression include beginning the work on a professional learning plan in collaboration with the human rights and equity officer, continuing the work of the Equity and Inclusive Education Committee, and implementing a Disability Support Program to facilitate accessibility accommodation plans and return to work plans for employees with disabilities.
Lakehead Public Schools values its community partnerships, as many joint initiatives contribute to creating a safe and welcoming environment for students and staff. The Board continues to be a proud member of the City of Thunder Bay Anti-Racism and Inclusion Accord; it stands by its belief that hate has no place here. The Board also continued its partnership with Diversity Thunder Bay to celebrate difference and end racism and discrimination in Thunder Bay. As a member organization, Lakehead Public Schools gains knowledge and shares expertise through engagement with key expert community agencies. The Board encourages students and staff to express themselves and their identities. During the month of June, Lakehead Public Schools facilities raised the Progress Pride flag to demonstrate its support for members of 2SLGBTQQIA communities and for all students to know that they belong and have a safe space in our schools.
The Board offered various cultural training opportunities for staff to enhance the awareness of the importance of culture. Stolen Lives training was organized for 50 staff members, École Elsie MacGill Public School established a Professional Learning Book Club with over 20 staff volunteering their time to participate, and First Nation, Métis, and Inuit (FNMI) education program staff worked with schools to support FNMI education learning goals. In addition, the Board partnered with Lakehead University to offer FNMI Studies, Part 1 AQ course for Lakehead Public Schools staff.
Throughout the Kindergarten registration campaign, we were pleased to showcase our schools’ welcoming environments by highlighting our commitment to accessibility, our caring and comprehensive Special Education program, and our firm belief of You Belong Here.
Lakehead Public Schools believes in fostering school communities within which every student and staff feels accepted and welcome to be actively engaged. Several initiatives were created to invite FNMI students and staff to feel more involved in their school communities. Resource documents were shared with educators for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Treaties Awareness Week, and National Indigenous Peoples History Month. The FNMI Education Team continued to create and share resources with educators, and Indigenous community members and Elders were invited into schools to work directly with students. Also, the Four Directions Program in secondary schools, which includes graduation coaches and FNMI student support workers, continued to provide a safe space for students.
To ensure the safe operations of all facilities and programs, many initiatives were completed throughout the year, including the application of all Ministry mandated COVID-19 health and safety measures, the procurement of mobile HEPA air filtration units and disinfecting mobile units, the installation of water bottle filling stations, and the completion of HVAC improvements. In addition, we provided various health and safety related training sessions throughout the year ensuring all sites had appropriately trained staff. Some examples include First Aid and Joint Health and Safety Committee training, as well as ensuring the annual completion of all legislated training. The Board ensured compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act and their Regulations. Quality Maintenance Inspections continued during the 2021-2022 school year ensuring consistent practices throughout the Board.
Lakehead Public Schools completed capital improvements in Board facilities to ensure the health and safety of students and staff, while ensuring facilities are well maintained. Many Capital Plan accomplishments came to fruition during the 2021-2022 fiscal year. Examples include: new outdoor classrooms; new playstructures; new play areas; new sportsfield; roof upgrades; HVAC refurbishments; steam conversions; new Building Automation Systems; bathroom upgrades; additional classroom sinks; bottle filling stations; new windows; and new flooring.

The Board prioritized the importance of recognizing the unique needs of every student to provide them with the opportunities and supports to succeed, including providing specific and targeted training for staff to better understand unique student needs. We ensure to provide central multi-disciplinary staff to support both elementary and secondary students for meaningful opportunities and supports to be available.
The learning recovery plan at Lakehead Public Schools included student mental health and well-being initiatives, tutoring supports, a focus on early reading and math skills, and individualized, student-centred learning. In addition, after school supports, Grade 8 to Grade 9 transition events, and extracurricular and community-building activities contributed to increased student engagement and sense of belonging.
The population in Ontario is changing and the Board needs to be positioned to serve the needs of the increasingly diverse demographics. Last year, the Student Census was conducted in all schools to better understand the student body as well as the needs of future students. Last year, we continued to learn more about student identity through a full census. Demographic data collection is essential to know the students at Lakehead Public Schools as well as to identify and address system barriers to equity of access and outcomes in the provision of education.
ACHIEVE
Lakehead Public Schools provides programs and supports so that every student can achieve high levels of personal and academic excellence. Relevant, inclusive, accessible, engaging, and responsive learning environments are important, and implementing Indigenous worldviews and knowledges throughout the curriculum is a priority.
Lakehead Public Schools collaborates with Children’s Aid Society of the District of Thunder Bay, Dilico Anishinabek Family Care, and area counselling centres to respect and work within the Joint Protocol for Student Achievement (JPSA). The JPSA outlines the scope of important collaborative practices and processes to guide agencies and school boards as they develop and implement local protocols to support the educational success for students involved in child protection services.
Capacity building and leadership related sessions were provided to staff to advance professional education and leadership skills and to increase the awareness of human rights and equity. The Board celebrated the achievements of staff and supported the many employee and committee training opportunities offered. Some examples of staff and committee education include Anti-Racism/Anti-Discrimination training, Understanding Learning Disabilities, Culturally Responsive School Leadership book study, and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and Hiring Practices. In addition, Indigenous education professional development opportunities were explored and designed and are planned for implementation in 2022-2023.
Several capital investments were made to enhance opportunities for student-centred growth and development. Modifications and renovations of building structures and systems were implemented to meet the cultural and diversity needs of the students and staff, including renovations to Kingfisher Outdoor Education Centre to ensure students could see themselves reflected in school experiences. Lakehead Public Schools classes regularly accessed the Kingfisher Outdoor Education Centre for day trips and overnight excursions to provide distinct learning opportunities for all grade levels. The program curriculum integrated and complemented the Ontario curriculum, and activities were planned in collaboration with classroom teachers to ensure curricular relevance and developmental appropriateness.
During the 2021-2022 school year, infrastructure was installed to ensure stable connectivity while providing teaching staff with technical and implementation assistance to support in-person and remote learners.
The Board’s information technology plan for 2021-2022 included several new professional development initiatives and financial investments including $475,000 to equip over 500 classroom teaching staff with devices, $500,000 to provide devices and connectivity for all students to directly support remote learners, and $50,000 in-classroom technology to deliver a hybrid teaching environment.
At Lakehead Public Schools, we are passionate about Special Education and strive to continuously enhance the learning experience for students with special needs. The Right to Read report was received and included results from thousands of peer-reviewed studies and meta-analyses that used rigorous scientific methods to outline how reading develops, why many students have difficulties learning to read, and how to teach early reading to prevent reading failure, among other things. As a result of this study, teachers used the resource Heggerty as a Tier 1 intervention for students in Kindergarten and Grade 1. Teachers spent at least 10 minutes each day working in whole group and small group settings. Focusing on phonemic awareness, students were taught to hear and manipulate the sounds of language and were taught which letters are associated with the sounds of the language. Both skills are crucial to reading mastery and are foundational reading skills. For French Immersion schools, the resource Pratique Phonémique was piloted at École Gron Morgan Public School.
To continue to enhance the achievement opportunities for all students, including students with special needs, all Grade 2 teachers received training and support with the resource Lexia. Lexia® Core5® Reading is an adaptive blended learning program that accelerates the development of literacy skills for students of all abilities, helping them make that critical shift from learning to read to reading to learn. The use of Empower, a Tier 3 intervention tool, was also implemented as it teaches struggling readers effective strategies for decoding and spelling words and understanding text. It allows students to experience success in reading and gain confidence in their skills.
For our English Language Learners, Lakehead Public Schools has a continuing commitment to implementing an intake and orientation process that allows for successful integration of English Language Learners (ELL) and their families into our school communities.
To enhance student appreciation and achievement in the Arts, primary planning teachers and itinerant music teachers received training to provide a dynamic learning environment for students. We are proud to report that over 600 students from the junior grades attended LinkUp at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium along with the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. The Carnegie Hall’s LinkUp program introduced students in Grades 3 to 5 to the orchestra by helping them to become a part of it. It also provided resources to teachers to deliver the music curriculum.
All Grade 8 First Nation, Métis, and Inuit students from our elementary schools were offered the opportunity to earn a Reach Ahead credit at their secondary school over the summer. The program ran for three weeks in August and provided students with the opportunity to earn a Grade 9 Exploring Family Studies credit (HIF 1O1) before they started secondary school, as well as the opportunity to visit their future school before start-up in order to reduce any anxiety associated with transitioning to secondary. Students also had the opportunity to meet staff, including their graduation coaches, and form relationships before entering secondary school. Forty Grade 8 students entering our secondary schools this year successfully earned the HIF 1O1 credit.
Lakehead Public Schools is pleased to report that the Cooperative Education Summer Program was very successful. The Focus on Youth Project ran and was a six-week summer cooperative education program for secondary students and a partnership between the Ministry of Education, Lakehead Public Schools, Lakehead Adult Education Centre, and Roots Community Food Centre. Eleven senior students completed the Focus on Youth program, earning cooperative education credits and paid employment while growing food at a community garden, as well as harvesting and selling products at the market.
Over the summer months, the program department and Lakehead Adult Education Center were able to partner to run programming in Whitesand First Nation for secondary students. Students had the opportunity to earn a General Learning Strategies credit in either Discovering the Workplace (GLD2O1) or Navigating the Workplace (GLN4O1). The programming was a combination of activities within the community that related to life and workplace skills and curriculum-based assignments delivered by an on-site teacher. There were 23 secondary students who participated, and 19 credits were granted for a success rate of 83%.
The Summer C.L.A.S.S. Program was offered virtually last summer and provided opportunities for students to recover unsuccessful Grades 9-12 secondary courses as well as opportunities for students to earn one of four dual credit courses. Thirteen students were successful in recovering a credit from a variety of subject areas and variety of grades. Summer Learning Programs for both English and French Immersions students were offered this past summer as well. We saw more than 340 students participate in the three weeks of programming at five schools.
Our schools also saw achievements in the area of mathematics, as the new 2022 mathematics curriculum was part of a four-year math strategy designed to improve student performance in math, help students solve everyday math problems, and increase students’ employability to attain the jobs of the future. Through the use of resource staff and math resources (MathUP), teachers built their content knowledge and understanding of mathematics so that they can better help their students.
Achievements at our Board can often be credited to the valuable partnerships we hold with community organizations. Last year, we continued our meaningful partnership with Lakehead University to offer the Student Achievement Program. This continuing program offered support and incentive for select candidates facing challenges to pursue a university pathway after secondary school. We saw the first Lakehead Public School graduates of the program move on to Lakehead University with their first year’s tuition paid for by the Achievement Program.
RECONCILE
Lakehead Public Schools is committed to working with Indigenous peoples in the spirit of reconciliation to provide quality education. We strive to embody the principle that Indigenous education is for all peoples and to incorporate Indigenous communities and leadership in all aspects of the Board. As part of supporting FNMI education learning goals in schools, administrators examined the goals closely to identify how they connect to and reflect the principles of relationality, relevancy, respect, and responsibility.
The Board’s Four Directions program flourished and provided a positive impact on many Indigenous students. The program continued its partnership with Biwaase’aa to provide a safe and nurturing environment for Indigenous students and promote successful outcomes. The Kendomang Zhagodenamonon (KZ) Lodge, originally only available at Hammarskjold High School, expanded and was introduced at Westgate Collegiate and Vocational Institute. The experiential learning program is highly successful and works in close partnership with the Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre. It is an alternative secondary school program that is offered in a mainstream school setting and is designed to incorporate specialized programming related to Indigenous land-based learning and life skill building. The main goal of the program is to provide added support to Indigenous youth by providing a ‘soft landing’ that helps ease their transition into a mainstream Secondary School setting.
To include and empower Indigenous students as leaders and advocates who contribute to the collective identity of all learning communities, we encouraged student participation in several groups including the Mino Bimaadiziwin Youth Leadership Program, Indigenous student leadership groups, active Indigenous student voice in Gay/Straight Alliances, and the involvement of an Indigenous student trustee.
The Board supported instructing and facilitating learning in Indigenous languages by expanding the elementary Native as a Second Language (NSL) program to include an additional school. We also established/promoted professional learning communities for NSL teachers and arranged their attendance at two conferences. The Board has submitted a Ministry funding proposal to support language revitalization and has provided professional learning opportunities for staff connected to destreamed Grade 9 mathematics.
We supported, instructed, and facilitated learning in Indigenous languages by modifying building systems to facilitate cultural activities such as smudging.
LEAD
Lakehead Public Schools strives to empower collaborative and student-centred leadership by encouraging all students, including students who are Indigenous, Black, people of colour, persons with disabilities, and members of 2SLGBTQQIA communities, to be leaders and advocates who contribute to the collective identity of all learning communities.
During the 2021-2022 school year, 24 students and four mentors participated in the Mino Bimaadiziwin Youth Leadership Program. The program is open to all elementary FNMI students within Lakehead Public Schools and helps students discover and develop leadership skills.
To engage students, parents, guardians, and caregivers in learning about global citizenship including Indigenous worldviews and knowledges, we arranged for the Aboriginal Education Advisory Committee to host virtual Anishnaabemowin Family Language Nights. Lakehead Public Schools also believes that socializing outside of regular school hours is beneficial in developing youth leadership; therefore, Lakehead Public Schools promoted a wide variety of extracurricular and prosocial activities at every school. Students had the opportunity to choose to participate in clubs, leadership groups, mentoring roles, and sports. These opportunities enhance self-confidence and foster the natural leadership qualities in students.
All secondary schools, and some elementary schools, ran Gay/Straight Alliances or Gender and Sexuality Alliances coordinated by students. The students utilize their leadership skills to plan meetings and coordinate and facilitate events to provide a safe place for all students.
Secondary school community service has always been a relevant way to expose students to leadership in their community. Last year, students were able to track their hours of leadership and community service by utilizing the online tool Hour Republic. The application was also introduced to Grade 8 students who were eligible to begin tracking their community service in the summer prior to Grade 9.
French Language programs remain a priority at the Board. The goal of French Immersion and Core French programs is to develop proficiency in French and English, and to have an understanding and appreciation of French culture. The ability to speak and understand French allows students to communicate with French-speaking people in Canada and around the world, and to benefit from a competitive advantage in the workplace. Learning French not only strengthens students’ ability to communicate but also helps to develop appreciation and respect for the diversity of Canadian and global societies. In 2021-2022, 36 Grade 12 graduates were granted a French Immersion Certificate, having completed the required number of courses in French. Twenty students graduated having completed Core French in Grades 9 to 12.
Lakehead Public Schools is a proud partner in the Centre DELF-DALF du Nord Ouest Ontario (Accredited Testing Centre) providing the opportunity for Grade 12 students to challenge the DELF exam. The DELF is an internationally recognized certificate awarded by the French National Ministry of Education to certify the French-language competency of candidates whose first language is not French. In 2021-2022, 51 DELF certificates were awarded to students at Lakehead Public Schools. Of all students registered in a Grade 12 French as a second language course, 90% challenged the DELF, and 91% who took the exam were successful.
Grade 10 Career Studies educators received training in career and life planning using the online tool Xello. The training was provided to support and guide students through a series of inventories and lessons to help them make informed decisions on how to achieve their personal goals in education, career, and life.
Providing professional training opportunities for staff encourages staff to achieve personal and leadership goals and demonstrates and fosters leadership and service excellence in education. We are pleased to report that 30 teachers participated directly in the Effective De-streamed Instructional Practices training and planning sessions in preparation for the rollout of de-streamed Grade 9 courses. They received training on grading for equity, culturally responsive pedagogy, and began co-planning low floor high ceiling assessment activities that would engage all learning levels and allow collaboration in class. As a result, all teachers in the de-streamed subject areas benefited from the programming and planning.
Other forms of professional training that took place last year included the Secondary Professional Learning Teams which involved data-driven professional learning focused on learning recovery and student mental health and well-being. Also, mentorship programs for new administrators focused on developing the skills of operational and curriculum instructor leaders. It permitted the collaboration and mentorship with experienced administrators while keeping the present and emerging needs of students at the focus.
Lakehead Public Schools supported the goal of the Strategic Plan of demonstrating fiscal responsibility by implementing capital projects through a fair and competitive tendering process.
Lakehead Public Schools also ensured the financial sustainability of the organization by continuing to ensure resource allocation which supported the strategic and operational plans while continuing to improve efficiencies. Initiatives such as property management, energy efficiencies, program collaboration, and realignment of operations supported a balanced budget for 2022-2023.
Toward the end of the school year, Lakehead Public Schools demonstrated its leadership by launching a newly designed accessible website with straightforward navigation and pertinent information. Each school acquired its own accessible website, as did Kingfisher Outdoor Education Centre, Lakehead Adult Education Centre, Lakehead Virtual Elementary School, and the Lakehead Public Schools Foundation.
INSPIRE
Lakehead Public Schools recognizes that to be inspired and successful learners, students need to be safe, healthy, and happy. As mental health is a prominent element of overall wellness, the Board has made immense progress in the quality and delivery of mental health services to students.
Students and teachers from 119 classrooms from Kindergarten to Grade 8 received presentations on mental health, stress management, and anxiety. Through a partnership with the Thunder Bay District Health Unit, public health nurses delivered 58 Mental Health Plus educational opportunities in Grades 4 to 8. Every classroom in Grades 4 to 8 were provided the opportunity to join a virtual presentation on mental health and the effect of social media, and a similar session was provided separately for parents, guardians, and caregivers. Also, parents, guardians, and caregivers were offered the opportunity to join a free presentation on helping to manage and reduce vaccine anxiety in children.
The Multi-Disciplinary School Support Team delivered Mental Health Action Kit presentations across 50 elementary classrooms. The Stop Now And Plan (SNAP) program was delivered across 11 classrooms and 485 students received individual clinical services.
The Board continued to promote mental health literacy resources, everyday mental health activities, literacy courses, and virtual field trips so that educators could be comfortable seeking them out and integrating them into their classroom curriculums. All elementary schools were equipped with Social Emotional Learning pathways for primary with strategies on how to use them effectively. All elementary schools have been provided several copies of posters promoting every day mental health practices for students.
In addition, Lakehead Public Schools administered the climate survey to all elementary schools in Grades 4 to 8 with assistance in data compilation from the Thunder Bay District Health Unit and administered the Compass survey to all students in secondary schools.
Lakehead Public Schools worked closely with community partners to enhance opportunities for students to explore pathways in skilled trades through the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP). Students in Grades 6 through 12 were exposed to potential careers in skilled trades through community, school-based, and virtual events. Special Projects included the building of toolboxes, picnic tables, garden boxes, and various presentations and workshops. Lakehead Public Schools also offered 10 Specialist High Skills Major programs in the three secondary schools. These programs engaged students and provided them with the opportunity to focus their secondary school learning while building on strengths, interests, and career goals. Students earned sector recognized certifications and explored careers within the sector. Specialist High Skills Major staff organized “reach ahead” experiences for students connected to their post-secondary pathway plans. In addition, throughout the year, many students participated in workshops, events, and activities to expand their understanding of skills for success in post-secondary institutions, apprenticeships, and careers. Some examples of the events included Take our Kids to Work Day, Women in the Trades events, presentations by guest speakers, and tours of industry.
Last year, the Board also implemented improvements in administration processes and systems, including a new Student Information System (SIS). The new SIS is a key component that drives Board data and interrelated systems. This is a multi-year project that is expected to result in improved interfaces, accuracy of data, and reporting.
Lakehead Public Schools believes in inspiring students and staff by celebrating success stories. Special events, accomplishments, and achievements were featured on social media, on the website, and in the media. We are continuously proud of our school communities and hope to always inspire the feeling of You Belong Here.
