History/Mission of Community Education
Community Education is a unique education concept that embraces these beliefs:
Education is a lifelong process.
Everyone in the community – individuals, businesses, public and private agencies – share responsibility for the mission of educating all members of the community.
Citizens have a right and a responsibility to be involved in determining community needs, identifying community resources, and linking those needs and resources to improve their community.
Community Education is an opportunity for local citizens and community schools, agencies and institutions to become active partners in addressing education and community concerns. Community Education brings community members together to identify and link community needs and resources in a manner that helps people to help themselves and raise the quality of life in their communities.
I hope that you enjoy learning about our school district and its great schools. My goal as superintendent will be to work with the community to develop a shared vision that provides for an educational program built on solid educational principles and one that truly meets the needs of all of our students and families. The development of this shared vision will be critical in creating a sense of ownership and pride in our public schools.
I invite and encourage you to become involved in some way that will contribute to our success. If there is anything I can do to be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Sheri Allen
Superintendent
