School Community Council

Our School Community Council (SCC), made up of our principal, teachers, staff, students, parents, and volunteer community members, helps to craft and approve these plans for the following school year. An election is held annually to set membership on the SCC. If you're interested in joining our SCC, please contact our principal, Kerry Higa.
