Imagine, Persevere, AchieveThe Bridges Icons |
|
Our school motto tells it all. It was created and adopted by the 2010 student body after school wide discussions about
who they are as students and who we are as a school culture.
Our programs seeks to develop imagination, perseverance and achievement through self-efficacy and engagement in personally relevant, meaningful work, explicitly linked to possible college and career paths. The iconic persons pictured on this page are used in our communications with students and the public to promote a profound awareness of the extraordinary potential of 2e students. These great minds are successful writers, musicians, scientists, artists, and leaders whose own combination of gifts and challenges render them twice-exceptional by today's criterion.
