Welcome from Dan
EDGE Students and Parents:
Welcome to the EDGE Program.  We are excited to embark on our 2nd year of transforming education in order to make learning more meaningful for our students while ensuring they are developing the skills necessary to take on all of life’s future challenges.  As we embark on this school year, I am enamored with the amount of energy and motivation our students possess.  They are motivated by their own personal success, driven to create opportunities that will help in developing a college portfolio and connections with business mentors.  Our students are developing an attitude of confidence and are becoming fearless in creating incredible opportunities for their future.
