All students should be proficient in the use of 21st Century technologies

They will feel comfortable using new digital devices and software, and be confident that they can use information literacy skills to assess the validity of digital information.
Course offerings increase in sophistication and specificity to include more formal and focused work in photography and digital media, sculpture and ceramics, and drawing and painting.

Through instruction and discussion, students are challenged to sharpen their critical, analytical, and perceptual skills. They are also encouraged to develop standards for appreciating and evaluating both the world immediately around them and the aesthetic achievements of the past and present.

I hope to pursue a career in Architecture, using design as a response for rising urban issues. Surprisingly, this takes its root from my combined experiences in Lifesavers and Robotics Club. I found that academic success combined with Pioneer's leadership helped me to become a well-rounded student who is prepared for college and beyond
