Here Cameron Is Family

Structured, Flexible, Resourceful, and Safe

A family takes care of one another - no matter what. At Cameron, that’s our philosophy. We know and believe it takes a village to raise a child, and because of that belief, we work diligently with our strategic community partners to provide the tools and resources our students and families need to succeed.

We ask ourselves 3 main questions as we teach our students.
