Our mission is to provide all students with comprehensive, success-oriented, standards-based learning opportunities to develop their potential in the areas of academic success, career awareness, global/cultural appreciation, physical well-being, social development, and community contributions.

• We will provide all students with equal educational opportunities to achieve their individual potential.
• We will provide all students with the opportunity and support needed to be educated academically and socially as they develop into productive global citizens.
• We expect all students to become articulate, expressive writers; critical, investigative, recreational readers; and inquisitive problem solvers.
• We will utilize our rural school setting as the rich, valuable learning and sharing resource that it is.
