Our Mission

The Mission of Polk County Public Schools is to provide a high quality education for all students.

In accomplishing this mission, we envision that students in the Polk County Public Schools will effectively:

• read, write, compute, speak, listen, and use complex thinking skills to solve problems;

• be self-directed in creating personal purpose and vision, setting priorities, choosing ethical action, and creating their own knowledge;

• cooperate and collaborate with others in working with and leading groups; interact positively in diverse settings; recognize the value and contributions of all individuals; and make positive contributions to their communities;

• understand and use social, organizational, and technological systems; design, monitor, improve and correct performance within a system; and create viable products.
