Mission

Education is not only a privilege but an individual responsibility. High school education must originate at the student's working level and provide the opportunity and incentive to build a foundation for life after high school. "Life after high school" may be more schooling, immediate employment, the military or emphasis on family life, but it always should be that of a useful citizen in a community. Our objectives are:

  1. Provide opportunity and incentive for the development of useful citizenship.
  2. Provide opportunity and incentive for each individual to develop their maximum academic potential.
  3. Provide opportunity and incentive for each individual to obtain economic efficiency and responsibility.
