Vision A message from the principal, Maura M.
Bradley

• The strength of a school is in its community.
  Parents, teachers, and students must work in
  partnership to accomplish and strengthen academic
  and social success. The neighborhood, rich in
  resources, strengthens student opportunities,
  teacher support, and professional development
  opportunities. As principal I unite my own
  personal and professional relationships with
  Mission Grammar. I have a commitment to student
  enrollment and fundraising.
• Academic Excellence distinguishes Mission
  Grammar. As principal I bring extensive training
  in best teaching practices as well as a strong
  relationship with the most current language arts
  publications. Under my leadership we, the faculty
  and staff work to establish standards based
  curricula.
• A safe, welcoming climate fosters school culture.
  As principal I work to maintain excellence
  planted in mutually respectful relationships. I
  continue to build relationships and maintain a
  code of conduct based on the principles of
  Responsive Classroom. I promote growth and make
  change in partnership with teachers, families,
  and students
