Our theme for the 2019-2020 school year is
“Stepping into Excellence.” To be in step means to be in harmony and agreement, and to be excellent is to be superior; the quality of being outstanding or extremely good. Stepping into excellence is doing outstanding or superior work in tandem and on one accord.
