Strategic Plan: 2020-2025
Our Next Chapter
When we opened our doors in 2004 to our first 139 students, we had a vision for a school that did more—that served all students, no matter their backgrounds, and prepared them to succeed in college. Since those first days, we have served thousands more students and families, and we could not be more proud of the work we have accomplished.
Defining the characteristics of an E.L. Haynes graduate.
