Our mission is to ensure that all scholars have the academic skills and character traits that are necessary to be successful adults. We know that our scholars have several external factors (socio-economic status, English as a second language, foster youth, etc.) that make learning complex. We are dedicated to unwrapping the complexities and providing scholars with the tools to cope with and overcome external factors. We promise to value the diversity of our scholars' population and work diligently to provide the best instructional practices. We will honor each scholar by providing a safe and positive environment where everyone can learn and develop intellectually, socially, and physically. We seek to instill an appreciation for cultural sensitivity, a positive attitude toward self and others, and the responsibility for life long learning skills. Together, the staff at Carmela, our parents, and our community stakeholders will empower students to prepare for an ever-changing, diverse, competitive, and complex world. Carmela Vision: Our purpose is to educate all scholars on academic and social skills. With these skills, Carmela scholars will be prepared to continue on a path to a higher education. It is our goal that all scholars attend a four year university upon high school graduation.
