Magnet success is based on five pillars: Diversity, Innovative Curriculum and Professional Development, Academic Excellence, Leadership, and Family and Community Partnerships. The synergistic relationship of these five equally held tenets is not merely a foundation but a compass moving our students forward to a well-prepared future.<\/p>\n<p>Our interactive blueprint is designed for the superintendent and\/or district leadership.
