I believe that every student has the right to learn. I expect my students to respect others, be on time to class, acme prepared (with book, notebook, and pencil/pen), and participate in classroom discussions and activities.

The mission of public education in Utah is "To empower each student to function effectively in society as a competent, productive, caring and responsible citizen." This mission will best be accomplished if major emphasis is given to the qualities of character, ethical standards, and sound principles which are the hall mark of productive, caring and responsible individuals, families, communities, and societies
