The Hanson School District believes in the supreme worth, dignity, and uniqueness of each individual. The Hanson School District believes that academic achievement must take precedence over all other aspects of school life. With this in mind, it is the responsibility of the District to provide academic, vocational, and activity programs, which will give each student the chance to develop his/her potential. This potential can best be attained through the joint efforts of the students, parents, staff, and community as they seek and maintain the student’s academic and social participation regardless of race, sex, creed, or economic background. The ultimate purpose of the educational process in the Hanson School District is to prepare each student to accept responsibilities to self, family, community, and country, and thus become a contributing member in our changing global society.
