    “When I reflect upon the qualities of Ransom Everglades students, the following vision comes to mind: They are honest, inquisitive, creative, critical thinkers who are determined to make a difference in their community. They learn and grow both in and outside the classroom under the guidance of dedicated educators who inspire them to achieve personal and common goals. They ultimately become lifelong learners who bring clarity and sensitivity to an ever-changing world.”
