Winslow Unified School District #1 Philosophy Winslow High School, a major educational force in the Winslow community, will help each student grow and develop mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally into a productive citizen of the community and the United States. In addition, the school will provide each student with the basic skills and capabilities necessary to become a self-supporting, participating member of a democratic society. The educational goal of the school is to provide its students, regardless of gender, ethnicity, national origin, or individual differences, with a foundation that can support additional academic or vocational training beyond the high school level. In addition to reading, writing, listening, speaking, mathematics, science, government, hygiene, physical development and vocational skills, students should be given a choice of aesthetic and artistic activities that will encourage the development of the individual's creative capacities. The development of the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical capacities of the students should include the encouragement of democratic ideals, moral and ethical standards, and the recognition of each individual's worth, including his or her own. To achieve this philosophy, Winslow High School will follow the Arizona State Academic Standards that are in place from elementary school throughout high school.
