Welcome to the 2026 school year (SY), Jaguar Nation family!

We’re back—and we’re building boldly. This year, our schoolwide theme is Blueprint of Excellence: PDSA with PAWS.

That may sound like a slogan—but it’s not. It’s a promise. We’ve laid the groundwork over the last year: stronger instruction, better attendance, higher test scores, and a healthier, more respectful school culture. Now we’re using that momentum to
build something lasting—something our scholars deserve. Here’s what it means:

PDSA stands for Plan, Do, Study, Act—a proven cycle we’ll use to make sure instruction gets better every week.
PAWS stands for Purpose, Advocacy, Wellness, and Safety—our core values that guide everything we do.

This theme is about more than academics. It’s about trust, equity, and growth. It means that every scholar, regardless of background, culture, language, or past experience, will be seen, supported, and challenged in meaningful ways. We’re
building a school where excellence is not exclusive, it’s expected - a school where students develop the tools to lead globally and grow into confident, compassionate contributors to the world. That’s our blueprint; that’s our commitment!
