Lackawanna County School Districts

• ABINGTON HEIGHTS SD

  
  

  The Abington Heights School District serves a community which values education as the foundation of a functioning democracy and a dynamic society. The citizens of the community embrace learning as a key to the achievement of vital human relationships, personal fulfillment, and worthy endeavor. They expect their schools to prepare young people for responsibility, rapid and continual change, and lifelong learning. These residents place priority upon an educational program, which develops the prerequisites for higher education, worthy use of leisure, effective memberships in societal groups, and leadership roles in areas of human activity. We believe that all students in the Abington Heights School District should have the opportunity and be encouraged to develop an understanding of themselves and their capabilities and to realize and more fully accept their responsibilities as citizens so they can deal with the problems of our changing society. The educational program should also help the students to appreciate the accomplishments of others and give them an understanding and respect for all people including those with varying backgrounds. We further believe that the educational program should emphasize the development of basic educational skills along with good physical and mental health. Furthermore, by using a wide variety of content and learning activities, the students? interests and needs can be met while fostering their creative abilities and positive attitudes in all forms of learning. In addition, the students should have an effective counseling program to help them plan for future vocational or educational endeavors. It is also essential for the students to develop the ability to analyze and interpret data in order to make meaningful and sound decisions. To help achieve these ends, the Abington Heights School District should involve the parents as a part of the educational process and should provide the financial support and administrative policies to enhance the achievement of this educational philosophy.
