Mr. Mark Johnson

                Assistant Principal

                I believe there are four key elements that can guide you toward a future with infinite possibilities.

                First, LOOK at where you are right now and ask yourself are you honoring the sacrifices of the past. LOOK at your parents, 

                guardians, and community members as role models for success and achievement. LOOK within yourself for the strength and 

                courage to do what is right and honorable.

                Second, learn to LISTEN to the counsel of your elders because it is those pearls of wisdom that have brought you through. LISTEN 

                to the voices within that gently remind you that you can and must do better even when there is pressure to do otherwise.

                Third, LEARN from your mistakes so as not to repeat them while on your journey to success, LEARN to be the example you wish to 

                see in others both young and old.

                Lastly and perhaps most important LEAD the next generation of young people towards an appreciation for the transforming power

                of education.

                I believe if you LOOK within yourself, LISTEN to the past, LEARN from the present, you can LEAD us into a future we can be proud

                of. Are you ready?
