Having created our fourth facet in our gem of a school, we are now polishing and enhancing, smoothing the surface to achieve Emerald Ridge standards and rare beauty. Young traditions now have real significance, evolving into meaningful personas of their own. Students and staff take ownership and pride in Jaguar identity.

When we speak of identity, we often mean the facets of a personality or the roles we play. Establishing a clear identity within the minds of others, especially in the community, has become an ongoing quest. From the front office personnel to the classrooms, the quality and focus of our staff and students reaches unlimited dimensions.

All of us have our own stories, our own lives and experiences – how we arrived here, why we act and say what we do. We are creative in our own ways and have our own instincts; we are each finding the unique individuals within us. Our stories will continue to be an intricate part of our decisions and actions.

Students and staff continue moving through their lives by challenging assumptions, redefining issues, celebrating and recognizing success, and integrating new learning and insights. We continue to evolve into our true personalities, progress within every aspect of our lives, advance in our understanding of the world around us, and drive toward our ultimate goals. By taking both our failures and successes, we will persevere and move forward.
