The Mustang Way

1. Mustangs are different. We celebrate this and we do not apologize for it. To be different you must have a different perspective, a different philosophy, and be willing to do things differently. That is exactly what we do, every single day.

The Big Three

2. Mustangs live their life by the “Big Three” (Attendance, Effort, and Attitude). The “Big Three” allow us to separate ourselves from normal and become different. There is a direct correlation between your future success in life and the “Big Three.”

3. There is a time and place for almost everything. Understanding this philosophy is critical in “making it” as a Mustang and in life. You have got to learn how to play the game: our game and the game of life.

4. A mistake is only a mistake when you have a poor attitude. For Mustangs, a mistake is an opportunity to learn and get better. Accept responsibilities for your own actions, this goes a long way here and in life.

5. There are three ways to fail at everything and anything: complain about everything, blame others for your problems, and never be grateful.

6. Mustangs are kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. It is easy to be kind to people who can do something for you, but how do you treat those who can do nothing for you? Your life and our school will become better, by you trying to make other people’s lives better.

7. Mustangs do not blame others for their mistakes or problems. Everyone has problems and obstacles they must overcome, it’s called life. Mustangs overcome obstacles by helping each other in times of need. Refuse to be a victim, fight to overcome your problems.

8. Mustangs work hard and play hard. Understand what a right is and what a privilege is. Classroom time will always be the number one priority. Sports and extracurriculars will be secondary.

9. Mustangs have pride in our school and community. Never miss an opportunity to improve our school or community by your actions or words. You will have multiple opportunities everyday to do this, take advantage of them.

10. Mustangs are not perfect, but we will always work to be our best.
