Tigers of the Term exemplify our RISE norms. They are respectful and responsible. They are kind and supportive. They make the most of their educational opportunities and constantly work to improve. And in the process, they provide an example for other students to emulate. They might not have the best scores, but they are working hard to achieve their potential and make our school better.
