Call Me M.I.S.T.E.R
Moving Into Servant-hood Together and Earning Respect
Our Motto
"I am a dedicated student who is devoted to planting seeds of dignity and respect and servant-hood in my life, family, friends, school, and community. I am inspiring them to cultivate those seeds producing a crop of extraordinary success. I will learn reading, writing and arithmetic and progress my self-esteem, imagination and determination. Because of my immeasurable promise, not only have I earned your respect, I demand it! A title is only important if ones' character and integrity dictate its use. When you address me, please verbalize my destiny, please do not call me by my first name or some street terminology or lingo ... call me in reference to my great vision and purpose... when you address me,
Call Me MISTER!"
