Vision

Each year ALL students will make one year’s growth or more in every subject.

Mission

We are committed to helping students become successful in junior high

so that they are empowered to make an impact on their own lives and in their community.

Core Values

Perseverance

We embrace struggle as an opportunity for growth. We use a growth mindset and never give up. We problem solve and try our best to learn as much as we can.

Community

Rio Tierra creates community through building trust and creating in a safe environment by encouraging student voice.Rio Tierra shares visions of safety: students can then choose to safely come to school.

Integrity

Integrity is putting into action what you say you are going to do. Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching.

Responsibility

Only by being responsible today, can we build a better tomorrow. We demonstrate responsibility by accomplishing our academic and personal goals. Responsibility is completing the task you are given.

Empathy

We value equality, awareness of others people's situations and perspective-taking. We set examples, actively listen and learn from others, and show “concern without judgment”. We strive to understand the perspectives of others.
