Propel Hazelwood will encourage a truly unique breed of scholars by supporting their passions and encouraging their dreams.  Our mission is to inspire achievement through critical thinking, evidence-based understanding and innovation.  We accomplish this through a meaningful, collaborative, academically rigorous, intellectual community. Our scholars will graduate with increased college and career readiness empowered with critical thinking skills, effective communication abilities, and an appreciation for the Arts needed to be successful life-long learners.

• Develop scholar growth in academics, the Arts, to produce highly effective and educated individuals by instilling in them the values of respect, responsibility, and a strong work ethic.

• Maintain a core relationship among family, school, and the community by instilling a sense of trust and fostering an atmosphere of respect.

• Celebrate each child’s individuality as well as their academic and social gains.
