The Pierre School District was established in 1892. Statement of Philosophy: It is the intent of the Pierre Board of Education that each student who attends the Pierre Public Schools be encouraged to develop his or her academic and social potential to its fullest. Furthermore, it is the intent of the Pierre Board of Education that students in the Pierre Public Schools be afforded the opportunity to acquire and develop intellectual and physical skills and aesthetic appreciation, under conditions which stimulate ethical choices, responsible citizenship, effective leadership, and respect for the rights and freedoms of others. In striving to attain these goals, the Pierre Board of Education acknowledges the obligation to seek and maintain (a) academic and social participation of students regardless of race, sex, creed or economic background; and (b) open lines of communication among students, parents, teachers, administrators, and counselors for effective
understanding and guidance of students within the Pierre School District.
