MISSION STATEMENT

Because children are the future, our mission at Rural Retreat High School is to provide an educational experience that will enable students to become responsible, culturally aware, productive citizens in a technological, global society.

VISION STATEMENT

We believe that: All students can learn.  Learning is a continuing process.   The curriculum should address the unique needs and learning styles of every student.  High academic standards are necessary to meet the challenges of the 21st century.  Students are given opportunities to apply their learning in meaningful ways. Freedom of expression and creativity enhance learning.  A cooperative learning environment encourages self-esteem, personal responsibility, and respect for others.  Concerned teachers exert a positive influence. Students need guidance in goal setting and career planning.  Equal treatment and positive reinforcement strengthen morale in both students and teachers.  Developing social and cultural awareness and emphasizing physical fitness are integral parts of the school program.  Effective discipline and attendance must be consistently applied throughout the school system.  Positive interaction between school, parents, and community is essential.  The school should provide each student a safe, clean, and properly equipped environment in which to learn.
