Division Avenue's faculty and administration are committed to a common vision for our students' success: a vision that encourages enhancing individual success and the fostering of a safe and proud school community. To these ends we offer a full range of academic, extracurricular and athletic programs to enrich and enhance each student's experience at our school. Beginning with a team approach to instruction and pupil services in 9th grade our students are, during their first weeks of high school, exposed to a variety of instructional strategies and support services in order to best meet their individual needs. By the time our students reach their senior year, they are often involved in research programs and Advanced Placement courses earning both high school and college credit.

Our building continues to be on the cutting edge of technology-based instruction, combining a large student computer lab with networked computers in each classroom, wireless laptops on roving carts and the latest video conferencing equipment which enable our students to access resources on the net and in person from other students and professors around the globe. Our science wing is nearing completion of a teacher-based renovation plan initiated four years ago. We are presently beginning the renovation of a new art suite, designed to showcase our school's talented fine arts students and placing a premium on more than just excellence in the core academic subjects, thereby showing our school's commitment to educate well-rounded and academically successful student that exceed the state standards in all areas.

Our students continue to excel as the requirements for graduation become more and more challenging. We offer a full battery of Advanced Placement courses and have enrolled more students in these courses than ever before in the history of the school. Year after year our students win awards at every level of county and state academic competition and are recognized as community leaders.

We also have a very extensive extracurricular and athletics program. Most students participate in at least one of our 65 clubs and we are proud to field junior varsity and varsity squads in all high school sports ranging from Soccer to Cheerleading. Our athletes and teams have been recognized as the best in the region and the state.

The Blue Dragon community is a welcoming supportive environment in which our students mature into active, intelligent and productive citizens and continue to meet, with an undying commitment to excellence, the challenges of the 21 st century. As our students move on to their adult lives, they keep the Dragon spirit and the lessons they learned here alive in their hearts forever. It is our sincere hope that each student brings his or her unique contribution to the school's success as we climb to greater heights each year.
