Portrait of a Tarrier

Our students and alumni represent a broad range of academic, artistic, and athletic aptitudes and abilities. The common attributes they share are a motivation to learn, desire to work hard and persist in the face of challenges, willingness to cooperate and engage fully in the life of the community, and a generally trusting and respectful attitude toward teachers and classmates.

Since the first class convened in 1957, Tarriers have been encouraged to solve problems, to think deeply, to collaborate respectfully, to be stewards of their communities, and to find joy in the pursuit of their passions. Charles Wright Academy strives to develop in each student the key attributes from our Portrait of a Tarrier.
