"Our school is helping all students develop the world class skills and life and career characteristics of the Profile of the Graduate by meeting individual students' needs. The needs might be academic, social, emotional, physical, or a combination of them. We do our best to meet them all. Personalized learning, Project Based Learning, Whatever It Takes directed learning time, Response To Intervention, fourteen clubs, counseling, social work, and collaboration in the community with Neighborhood Outreach Connection, the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra, The First Tee, Palmetto Running Company, Backpack Buddies, Bluffton Lions Club, and other groups, all assist us in helping our students perform at the highest levels possible in as many areas of their lives as possible. Our arts programs are very strong, offering many opportunities for students to show their creativity and to perform. We are very proud to have earned both Palmetto's Finest and STEM certification through AdvanceEd.

We are a technologically advanced school, with Lego and Sphero robotics, two MakerBot 3D printers, and one-to-one devices for K-5 students. Beyond that, our Media Center 2.0 boasts three ClearTouch screens, a 13,000 title digital library, and three Promethean ActivTables to engage students' imagination. Red Cedar is a very well-appointed school, but our real power is in our people. Our staff is prepared to do whatever it takes (our motto and the words we live by).  Our staff members apply for and are awarded many grants each year, and negotiate with local businesses and artisans to share their work, materials, and expertise with our students.  Our parents work closely with us, as individuals and in organized ways, through our PTO, SIC, and more.

We will continue to aim high -- and get there.
