Kirkwood High School will create an environment which both encourages and demands students to be active participants to the learning process. Furthermore, Kirkwood High School will encourage student participation and acknowledge student involvement in all areas of school life. Variety, therefore, must characterize the curriculum and teaching methods. Courses will be challenging and will foster individuality, creativity, and originality. Integral to the educational program is an awareness of the complexities of life in a global society and a recognition of the changes inherent in a technological society.
Education equips students for life in such a society.
Education is a shared responsibility. Parents are their children's primary teachers and community support is vital to the school. Kirkwood High School expects parent and community involvement. In summary, Kirkwood High School believes that the individual student is the focus and that education is the dynamic process which depends on the active involvement of students, staff, parents, and the community.
