Trust Edge is a concept that uses 8 pillars to build positive culture in organizations based on Trust. Our administrative team has spent two years working through the "trust pillars" and our school board discusses a pillar at each meeting. Everything of value is built on Trust!

Kailee is looking forward to collaborating with her co-workers and creating a safe and welcoming environment for her students as they grow academically and as individuals.
