Overview:<br />

Sarah J. Rawson Elementary School is a dynamic learning community that engages students in a strong, core academic<br />

program complemented by an innovative encore program with a focus on the arts. Our mission is to ensure that all students<br />

achieve personal excellence, develop the skills and interests that result in a passion for life-long learning and gain the ability<br />

Academy students are challenged by a demanding program of studies and a culture of high expectations. Upon this<br />

with professional artists in jazz vocal performance, world percussion, visual arts, dance and theater.<br />
