Exeter High School fosters the value of learning and pursuit of academic excellence. As members of a comprehensive institution, we prepare our students to assume responsibility in and for our democracy. Students develop as individuals and citizens in their family, school, and our local, national, and worldwide communities. Our students, their parents, our school staff and our communities share the obligation in this educational and socialization process. At Exeter High School, we foster intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, self-esteem and respectfulness in our young people. As educators, we must provide our students with the opportunity and resources they will need to develop the academic, social, and vocational skills essential for success in life. Our students will integrate technology into their lives as they develop their potential; our students will understand the importance of career choices in attaining independence in and contributing to the multifaceted demands of the twenty-first century.

Our students will learn that literate, articulate, and responsible adults are a community's best assets.
