The Cornerstones of Creek Character are the core of what it means to be a Pine Creek Eagle and the launchpad that allows Pine Creek faculty to educate and inspire students to thrive. At all times they shape individual pursuits as well as interactions between the various stakeholders of our community (students, faculty, staff, and parents). As students grow throughout their four years at Pine Creek, the Cornerstones of Creek Character should be used as guideposts that help determine the best course of action.
