MISSION STATEMENT: Since the future of our state and nation is changing dramatically, the education system must prepare children to live and work among these changes. The school is responsible for preparing children for the 21st century. All students need to develop essential academic skills and to acquire knowledge based on the ability to build their lives. Life-long learning must start from a core curriculum of English, language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, fine arts, health, physical education and technological literacy. All students will acquire knowledge of citizenship and economic responsibilities and an appreciation of our common American heritage including its multicultural richness. To the full extent of their individual abilities, students will be provided the opportunity to develop the ability to think logically, independently, and creatively and to communicate effectively. Educating our children to be productive in a changing future demands an excellent educational system. A system that can accomplish this mission must be characterized by quality, equity and accountability.
