The way we do things around here.

Culture greatly impacts student achievement, teacher morale, and school climate. A strong, positive culture supports learning and growth, while a toxic one can harm students, teachers, and staff.

A school’s culture is a complex pattern of norms, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, values, ceremonies, traditions, and myths that are deeply ingrained in the very core of the organization and wields astonishing power in shaping what people think and how they act.
