Summary of FindingSummary of FindingOver the course of the past three years

our campus has taken an up and down course, but ultimately we have shown growth and for the first time last year received Advanced Tech in all our Key Area STaR Classifications, which is wonderful. We are on the way to success!

There is still room for growth because we ultimately aspire to achieve Target Tech in all areas, and am sure that all of you cheer beside me attain that status.
