Core Values

Cooperation

Students, staff, and parents work together toward common goals.

Aim High

Students learn that successful people take charge of their own lives and learning by setting challenging goals for themselves.

Respect & Kindness

An important part of Nixon's culture is regular recognition of the respectful and kind acts of others. We have recently placed particular focus on respecting differences in ability and supporting classmates as they learn.

Effort

One of the most important predictors of future success is one's ability to work hard and persevere. Nixon's students learn that we "work hard to get smart."

Safety

Students voted this the most important Core Value, reminding us that ensuring physical and emotional safety are the foundation on which we build our school.
