Hillsboro-Deering School Board Mission Statement
“The mission of the Hillsboro-Deering School Board is to articulate and develop the educational goals of the community and to allocate community resources effectively and responsibly. It strives to create with educational professionals a dynamic learning environment in which all students are inspired to realize their individual potential, learn critical academic skills, develop intellectual curiosity and moral courage, and prepare to be active citizens.”
The Hillsboro-Deering School Board will:
foster strong relationships and build partnerships with the community to promote engagement and support for the school district’s students, programs, budgets and initiatives.
ensure efficient fiscal management to achieve the goals of the educational plans of the district.
support professional development that aligns curriculum with state standards, advances best instructional practices and broadens the district assessment repertoire to improve student achievement.
advocate raising the level of literacy, critical thinking, academic and physical performance in all subjects (especially the four core subjects: math, language arts, science and social studies) for all students, in the elementary, middle and high school levels, so our schools generally rank in the top 50% of all schools in the state, as measured by multiple assessments.
