Improving student academic and behavior outcomes is about ensuring that all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional and behavioral practices and interventions possible. PBIS provides an operational framework for achieving these outcomes. More importantly, PBIS is NOT a curriculum, intervention, or practice, but IS a decision making framework that guides selection, integration, and implementation of the best evidence-based academic and behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students.

The words respect, inspire, safe, and excel were chosen by the PBIS team after accepting input from both students and faculty members. The expectations are upheld in all areas of the school including the classroom, hallway, and cafeteria. The slogan, "RISE Above" is an acronym used to associate the expectations and the school’s mascot, the hawk.
