We can no longer rely on the assumption that the academic, social, and financial future of our children will resemble the past. There will always be a need for basic academic skills such as reading, comprehension, mathematics, science and language arts. We expect that every child will learn these skills. The standardized test score results of Eagle students are proof that we accomplish these goals in the here and now. However, we also have to prepare our students for what is to come which is very different from what has been.
