In Everything We Do,
We Go For Gold.
A bold promise- we know. Since 1886, we've shown our students how to work hard to reach their goals. It takes character and courage. Most important, it means working together as one community. That's why all of our schools- elementary, upper elementary, middle school and high school- share the same 130-acre campus. We are Trojans. Watch what we can do.
