The SOAR store opened today!

Our students were excited to cash in their hard-earned tickets at the grand opening of the SOAR Store! Students earn tickets by demonstrating our SOAR expectations—Self-Discipline, Ownership, Achievement, and Respect—and can redeem them for fun and meaningful merchandise. It’s a great way to celebrate positive choices and reinforce the values we strive for every day.
