Command Philosophy

SY 2023-2024

This school year, we will work as one. We will stand for commitment and respect. We will uphold ourselves to the standard and pave the way for the future. Idleness and sloth will not be tolerated. Excuses will not be a part of the Camel Battalion's vocabulary. Excuses are for those wishing to be confined where they lay. We are anything but that. We are overachievers, we are reformers, we are greatness. We will stand for completeness and wholeness, not deficiency and reluctance. We will better ourselves and standup to the challenge. We will learn from the past and will not repeat our previous mistakes. This school year will be marked as the year the Camel Battalion exceeds all expectations!
