Academic Achievement

There has been a strong academic focus in each of the schools in the Magnet Program. We continue to prepare our students for future learning and performance challenges by engaging them in authentic, in depth curricular experiences. By participating in the programs at our Magnet Schools Assistance Project, our students are becoming effective communicators, self-directed learners, responsible members of society, informed thinkers, collaborative workers and information processors.
