Every student, educator, staff member and family is encouraged to strive for: Excellence is striving for and being the best that we can be. It means a higher standard of teaching, learning, and in everything that we do. Excellence includes personal, social, physical, career, cultural, and spiritual development in addition to intellectual curiosity and rigor. It includes teamwork, community service and leadership. DIVERSITY is embracing difference and building character based on the best of all worlds and with a global perspective. It recognizes equity amongst cultures and peoples and promotes respect for the natural world including plants and animals. INTEGRITY is excellence of character. Our teachers model their ideals off of our mission statement every day. COMPASSION is caring for others who are different from yourself. Both integrity and compassion are essential for guiding how we relate to and treat one another and are a critical cornerstone for what YHIS stands.
