Dakota Ridge Mission Statement

Dakota Ridge High School aspires to help all members of its community develop a balance between and synergy from four basic human needs: the need to live, the need to love, the need to learn, and the need to leave a legacy. Therefore, Dakota Ridge consciously commits itself to demonstrating:

• • The physical need to live in an environment that is clean, safe, and business-like; a vibrant place which inspires a healthy attitude in its community of learners.

  • The social need to love self and others with respect, high expectations, trust and decency; to belong to and work as a responsible member of the community.

  • The mental need to learn by continuously seeking and accepting challenging opportunities that expand our abilities and motivate others to make full use of their abilities.

  • The spiritual need to leave a legacy by establishing a sense of meaning and purpose to our existence through contributions to our community and to the lives of others.
