• Culture, Conditions, & Climate

    In Alhambra, school conditions, climate and culture are impacted by consistency in beliefs, perceptions, relationships, attitudes and written and unwritten rules that shape and influence every aspect of how a school functions. All stakeholders take responsibility for fostering a supportive environment that prioritizes student physical and emotional safety, a healthy school culture, the orderliness of classrooms and public spaces, and a commitment to respecting and celebrating all backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences while ensuring fair access to opportunities. In Alhambra, when we truly appreciate and celebrate each individual person in their entirety, it will develop.
