About Us:

The Shawnee Mission School District will provide comprehensive education in a secure environment of cooperation and mutual respect among students, faculty, families, and the community. Our curriculum will provide a rigorous academic challenge and reflect current knowledge of students and how they learn. Students will be offered an educational program appropriate for their needs, interests, and abilities. They will be taught the skills needed for successful living in a changing world.

The school, family, and community will work together to enable students to develop self- confidence, self-discipline, the ability to work cooperatively with others, aesthetic awareness, recognition of the inevitability of change, and a commitment to learning throughout life. All students need to understand their individual rights, that responsibilities accompany those rights, and the heritage that assures those rights and responsibilities.
