QUOTE THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU: “Treat a man as he is, and he’ll remain as
he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

school. As you get older and take your next steps in life, your

THE BEST THING ABOUT BEING A FIREBIRD WAS… Firebirds are more than
prepared to take on whatever the future may bring. This is not true with
all other school districts.
