Develops individuals who are open-minded, respectful, and compassionate, Develops honest, interdependent, skilled future leaders and independent thinkers who will become the world’s problem solvers;

The Board of Education will ensure that all students have a right to an education which is based on standards of excellence, which stresses rigorous demands and which serves to expand students' personal horizons. The education of each student is the shared responsibility of students, parents, faculty, administrators and the Board of Education. The Board of Education also recognizes that students differ in their interests and abilities and therefore the district will offer a comprehensive program consisting of a variety of learning experiences.
