Peekskill City Schools

OUR MISSION:

...is to educate and empower all students to strive for excellence as life-long learners who embrace diversity and are contributing members of a global society. 

WE BELIEVE THAT:

• all people can learn, contribute and have value
• embracing and understanding cultural diversity is imperative to strengthening and enriching a school community
• when a school community provides a respectful, safe, supportive, resource-rich environment, people thrive and meet their goals
• a school district excels when strong partnerships exist among families, schools and community
• educating the whole child will develop life-long learners who are compassionate, confident, critical thinkers
• a school district is responsible for aligning and carrying out the conditions for learning, leadership and commitment

The above was submitted by the Core Planning Team with 100% consensus as per the protocol.
