Under democracy, the worth and happiness of the individual are of the utmost importance. Democracy recognizes that the very best way to build a better life for all is through a healthy balance of individual and group effort. It must be remembered, however, that democracy is not guaranteed to a people by any higher power without regard to their own efforts. Unless they constantly work to improve their way of life, they will eventually discover that they have lost even that heritage of democracy which has been left to them by their ancestors. The public school system must play a vital role in teaching students the value of democracy and the work that is necessary to maintain democracy.
Democracy recognizes that society is in a constant state of change.
All individuals are constantly in a process of physical, mental, social, and emotional change is commonly referred to as growth. Many agencies contribute to the education of the individual, but the school is the only agency that has as its specific purpose the direction of such growth. Our goal is to produce graduates that will become productive members of society. Thus, we believe it is our responsibility to provide an educational program that will help produce well rounded citizens. Our foremost focus must be academics.
