My Personal Vision for Rampello

• Rampello is a school that provides rigorous,
  challenging, and relevant learning in a friendly,
  supportive and caring environment. Our faculty,
  parents, and community members all work together
  to make Rampello a better place to learn and
  grow. We offer unique opportunities for students
  to experience the arts and sciences in Tampas
  downtown. We are the top performing school in
  the district at all levels due to reflective
  educators, shared leadership, PLCs and a
  relentless pursuit to continuously improve as a
  school. We are showcased by the community and
  our school district as an example of best
  practices in education. Rampello students leave
  our school prepared for high school and post
  secondary learning. Later in life, when students
  are asked about a teacher or educator that
  changed their life, they think of someone at
  Rampello.
