Overview Paragraph

Our school is known for being academic, artistic, and athletic while providing a warm and welcoming community. Our teachers meet weekly in either grade teams or departments to create rich and meaningful experiences for students. All students have a CORE teacher responsible for monitoring their academic and social/emotional progress. We have a partnership with College Bound Initiatives (CBI) which provides our students and families with a full-time college counselor. Come to a place where people know you well and are dedicated to supporting your future goals. Many of our staff members have been here for more than 10 years and our graduates often come back and visit. Be a part of the Wagner family!
