The Seven Core Values at PCD

• Individual commitment and active participation are the personal contributions that open doors to confidence and competence. Growth is the triumphant result of surpassing one’s own expectations.
• Diversity is the wealth of our community. When we embrace the many perspectives among us, we are enriched with an increased cultural awareness and sense of belonging.
• Persistence and hard work are essential ingredients for success in all areas of personal growth and achievement.
• Honesty is the foundation of our community. Our strength is secured by trust, and that trust grows through truth in actions and words.
• Intellectual curiosity is the spark that drives us toward academic excellence.
• Respect—for oneself, for others, for ideas and for property—is the vital connection that makes every individual a valued member of our community.
• Shared experiences and teamwork embody the interdependence of each member of our school, and fulfill our potential as a dynamic community of learners.
