Logo/Motto
The District's logo depicts a figure who is reading and writing--the two most important skills essential to communication. The figure represents an activity by a person who symbolizes a student, teacher, administrator, board member, superintendent or secretary. The human figure disregards gender, color or age. The face has strong outlines and character to emphasize the person's determination and concentration. From learning comes the spectrum, representing the District's wide array of educational offerings for students and staff. The logo reflects the central mission of the District. It is powerful, strong and simple. The District motto, "A Full Spectrum of Educational Opportunities," illustrates the progressiveness of the District and the need to provide for the diversity of our students and employees.
