A Message from the Principal, Marnie G. McKoy

The heart of a school beats in its students. If we ever want to know the condition of a school, we do not need to look any further than the condition of its students. At Link, we understand that our primary reason for existence is to serve our students and to help them maximize their potential. Through a rigorous academic curriculum and exposure to the arts, athletics and leadership opportunities, we instill in our students the importance of excellence, service and living life on purpose.

In a world where children have so many choices, it is imperative for them to understand that the foundation of a successful life is the balanced combination of an excellent education and moral integrity. We want our students to present themselves with clarity and confidence in any situation. Our Core values of Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Honesty, Following Directions and Doing One's Best are the cornerstone of all that we do at Link. They are not simply adages on our walls, but they are personified in our interactions with one another daily. Upon entering our building, one guest noted that "Link gives you a hug when you walk in the door." It is this marriage of warmth and high academic expectations that makes us who we are.

We invite you to visit our campus to experience Link in person; it is time well-spent. The Sisters of Saint Dominic founded our school with the aim of building leaders and reminding them that education is the gateway to a world of greatness. We have not strayed from that mission. We continue to provide an outstanding, independent middle school education to students of all abilities with limited financial resources. This is the heart of our school, and it beats in us all.
