Mission

The mission of the Pontotoc City School District is to provide all students a strong foundation. Our vision is that our students will become confident, self-directed, life-long learners and that they will lead responsible, contributing, caring lives in a culturally diverse society.

• All students are learners.
• Students' learning needs are the chief priority of all decisions impacting the work of the school.
• Teaching and learning are the shared responsibility of the student, teacher and home and supported by the community.
• Learning involves decision-making, problem solving, and risk-taking where students are actively engaged in the learning process and are provided opportunities to apply their learning in meaningful context.
• Students learn in different ways and should be provided a variety of instructional approaches and assessment opportunities to support learning and demonstrate their achievement.
• A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.
• The value of each individual student is promoted through positive relationships, mutual respect and understanding of cultural diversity.
• The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative.
