Why Our School
Relationships are key to student success. Whitman strives to serve the whole child by making a positive difference in students’ growth and development. One of our goals is to build students’ confidence so that they believe they can reach their highest academic and social potential. We believe in and implement a Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) model which supports students on their journey towards becoming positive contributors to the school and the community. Positive behavior (meeting PRIDE expectations) and academic growth is recognized and celebrated throughout the year in many ways. We recognize we can’t do it alone, and we truly value our 40+ community partners, 200+ volunteers and, of course, our families. Our motto is PRIDE in ourselves. PRIDE in our school. PRIDE in our community. Go Wildcats!
