The result of the committee s efforts was the formulation of our beliefs and mission statements. Preliminary drafts of the beliefs and mission statements were distributed to all faculty, administration, and support staff of Grafton High, as well as a broad cross-section of students, parents and community members for review and comment. The feedback was collected, tabulated, reviewed and used as the basis for modifications. A statement of beliefs and a comprehensive mission statement were developed to reflect the consensus of a broad cross-section of the Grafton High School community. Both appear on the following pages.
All students can learn.
Student learning most effectively occurs when there is a safe, wholesome, and challenging learning environment. Students learn to be responsible citizens of our country and the global community by stressing truth, justice, and respect for the diversity of others. Enrichment classes provide opportunities for students to learn to express themselves creatively. Students benefit from diverse types of evaluation that provide opportunities to demonstrate learning. Ultimately, all students must take responsibility for their own learning and actions.
