GHS Mission

Our mission is to foster excellence by empowering students to become critical thinkers, productive citizens, and lifelong learners.  Academically grounded and motivated for success, today’s graduates are well-prepared to enter the workforce or to attend the finest colleges and universities across the nation.  Pride in the community and in its heritage permeates the school. 

GHS Phylosophy

The philosophy of Greenville High School rests on faith and hope.  We share faith that our students will benefit from the knowledge, skills, and values that we teach.  We share the hope that our students will use this knowledge for responsible choice making.

We believe that the educational program should respond to the individual student’s life and to the issues that concern, excite, and engage the student in the curriculum.

 We believe the teaching task is to help the student know and to encourage the expression of his knowledge.

 We believe we can provide context and support for the acquisition of knowledge.
