Mission:

The mission of the Aberdeen school district is to be to be a premier learning community that expects and achieves excellence for all students.

We Believe:

Every person has inherent worth, can learn, and must be treated with respect.

Relevant learning requires a safe environment where daily successes help students and staff feel significant.

All children must have equal access to opportunities to maximize their individual potential.

Education should be based on sound instructional strategies that include thinking, problem solving, and real life skills.

Schools flourish through committed community partnerships and community service that promote the rights and responsibilities of all.

Promoting and supporting a commitment to life-long learning is an important quality for future success.

About Us:

The Aberdeen School District has been serving the educational needs of students since 1884. The District enrolls 3700 students in six elementary schools, one junior high, one traditional high school, one alternative high school and an early childhood center.

Aberdeen offers a nationally recognized, free preschool for four year olds. An elementary school gifted program is offered to qualified students. The District also supervises a two-district special services cooperative, as well as, a two - district vocational education program.

Comprehensive offerings at the high school provide vocational, general studies and college preparation. Computer usage begins with preschool students and becomes a frequently used curriculum tool throughout all grades.

The strengths of the District are its supportive parents, outstanding staff, caring school board members and responsive and respectful students. The staff is experienced, professional and highly motivated to help students grow academically and socially.
