District Philosophy

The Hannibal School District is strongly committed to the concept of educational balance. Sound academic skills are critical for survival in today's competitive world, and students must acquire basic skills needed for successful lives. Students must be prepared to participate as citizens in a democracy. These academic, practical, and social skills will be developed within the curricula. The district seeks to develop each student’s unique potential. This will be accomplished through relevant learning experiences which promote clear understanding of the global society and foster self-understanding and personal worth. Programs to implement this philosophy are developed by representatives of the entire community. Parents, citizens, and students join with professional educators to plan the best learning experiences for Hannibal’s future - its youth.
