The recently adopted motto, "Proud to be myself, Proud to be us," is fostering an environment in which all kids can succeed.
Our goal is to make The Joseph Whitaker School an outstanding institution of higher learning, one in which the neighbourhood may take pride.
Our first priority is for every student to succeed academically, and we are committed to this.
Parents, teachers, and students have great expectations.
