In addition to our outdoor attractions, our community celebrates its rich cultural heritage through various events and festivals. Families participate in our annual Cultural Unity Fair, Pow Wows, Tamale Festival, Harvest Festivals, Sukiyaki Dinner, Bean Feed, Filipino Community Celebrations and more! These events foster a sense of belonging and pride within our community, both inside and outside the school district.
If you are looking for a placement as a speech language pathologist intern, you’ll receive competitive compensation.

We are dedicated to ensuring that you have the qualifications you need to succeed. Our certificated salary schedule is attached for your reference. Aside from a very competitive salary package, which includes 15 extra days above and beyond what other certificated staff in the district qualify for, we provide bilingual assessment specialists to assist in the evaluation process for our students.
