Our Motto, Mission and Vision

Motto:

Student-Centered, Community-Supported

Mission:

To Educate, Prepare and Maximize Student Potential

Vision:

To collaboratively cultivate an environment that challenges learners to reach their full potential in a Student-Centered, Community-Supported environment. To achieve this, we will build authentic relationships and promote active engagement that advances learning, literacy, and life skills.

School Board Committees

Committees established by the school board will enable its members to become active in the support areas in the education. The effort by board members in committee work will prepare the board for their support of current and existing programs and gain insight into planning for the future goals of the district.

The function of the committees will be advisory and to assist the Superintendent upon request with fact finding, but never legislative or administrative. All actions of the committees will be recommendations to the board unless the committee is delegated prior authority by the Board to act upon an issue. Ad Hoc Committees will be established and assigned by the president when necessary.
