The major purpose of the Waurika Public Schools is to help each student become a secure, self-reliant individual who recognizes the significance of one’s life and the ability to contribute to society. This school system is an enterprise which, along with the community and family units, has the responsibility for providing for each individual student the opportunity to develop skills that will enable one to live successfully in that society. This school system not only concerns itself with the acquisition of knowledge, but with physical, social, emotional, and moral development as well. The curriculum is student centered with a special emphasis on discovering at what level each child is functioning. The establishing of goals will assist in achieving success in reaching their highest potential.
