2000-2001 Priorities 1. Develop business partnerships. The Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation is the community's center for cultural activities and lifelong learning, and a lighthouse corporation for public education. All graduates are guaranteed to possess the knowledge and skills necessary to enter the workforce or go on to various post-secondary opportunities. The Corporation's commitment to continuous improvement and results-oriented programming ensures the continued success of the educational program.
Children learn in different ways and at different rates, but all children can learn.
Teachers are capable people who must be challenged, supported and empowered to be creative, innovative educators. Innovation and continued improvement should be expected of all people and programs supported by the school district. Children learn best in a safe, caring environment staffed by appropriate adult role models who hold high, but realistic, expectations for them and value them as individuals. Parents, school personnel, and patrons within the community share the responsibility for the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth of each child. The quality of the educational program is measured by the options students have upon graduation.
