We pride ourselves with having a strong focus on creating individual pathways to success for all students through student enrichment programs such as Life Labs, the Waterloo Career Center, Success Street, and more. Our goal is to provide students with the support they need to work toward their dreams. Whether they’re looking to continue their education or find a fulfilling career after graduation, our goal with every student is to provide them with a diploma and a plan.

Honoring 9/11: We Remember. We Reflect.
Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the heroes who emerged, and the resilience that united us on September 11, 2001. May we continue to honor their memory through acts of kindness, compassion, and unity.
Let’s also take a moment to thank our first responders, who selflessly protect and serve our communities every day.
