Middle School Pledge
An Eagle scholar embodies humble confidence in all that he attempts. It is through his
commitment to excellence that he strives to become better than he was the day prior. Knowing that there will be times when he fails, as mistakes are part of his life, his resilience allows him to get up and put forth a greater effort during his next attempt. He also realizes that he has the support and encouragement of his brothers, who provide his added strength to proceed forward.
His most powerful tool is his mind, with it he learns from each experience and makes sound decisions, which determine his tomorrow. He makes no excuses, is accountable and accepts responsibility for his actions. As a young man, he is aware of the image he conveys and how he is perceived. Always respectful to others, he also commands it in return. He takes pride in his family, friends, community, and most of all - himself. Through his leadership, he blazes a trail for others to follow.
I am a Globally Conscious, Globally Competitive Eagle Scholar!

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning's of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
