Giving Every Child Knowledge and Opportunity

We offer regular, vigorous exercise to in addition to rigorous academics to create a sound mind and sound body. We expect and deliver excellence in character development, education, and a healthy life-style. Superior academic instruction, physical education, a variety of fine arts experiences, and a multitude of after school activities including sports, and community building activities create students focused on being intelligent, healthy, well-rounded leaders of the future where .... Academics + Athletics = Success!
Each school day morning, the entire school gathers in the courtyard to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, say the Green School Peace Pledge, and hear daily announcements from Principal Ferguson. Some days are devoted to announcing Running Club miles accumulated by the students and teachers, others are to celebrate the students who "got caught" displaying great character at school. It's a GREAT GREEN way to start the day!
