Philosophy


It is the responsibility of the school to prepare the students of this community to function in our present society as well as be able to adapt and function successfully in an ever-changing world. A large number of our graduates will further their academic education in college, others will seek immediate entry into the work force, some will pursue specialized training. This diversity of student goals necessitates a varied and flexible curriculum.

In a world made small by mass media communications, it is necessary and desirable to give our students the opportunity to learn about other cultures and foster an appreciation for the unique features of our own culture. With the advent of the technological revolution and the trend toward service oriented industries, the school must make a strong commitment to accept these challenges with a curriculum that is designed to adapt to the needs of our students. To supplement this curriculum a guidance program and a diverse media center are essential.

Emphasis upon good health, rewarding leisure activities, interesting hobbies, and development of personal talents are important to the overall school program. The community, the school, and the students must work together through open communications and cooperation to attain these goals. Our school involves all parts of the community in the educational process as well as in clubs and various school activities. This spirit of cooperation enhances the success of our program.
