Philosophy of

James A. Garfield High School

It is the philosophy of James A. Garfield High School that all students be accepted into the educational program as they are, and the school environment provide desirable behavior changes, satisfactory scholastic growth, and individual self-satisfaction.

Further, it is the philosophy of this school to create an atmosphere that prepares our youth for the fast changing and complex world. It is our intent to strive for cooperation between home and school in the building of responsible citizens among our students. We believe the learning experience should focus on current knowledge tempered with the wisdom of the past.

Finally, we charge ourselves with the responsibility of building a positive self-image for our youth. Experiences will be provided which will foster, for our students, a healthy outlook toward mind and body. Creativity will be reinforced. We will strive to have our students develop an optimistic tolerance toward their fellow man, to exercise patience and to accept the ambiguities of the real world.

Mission Statement

To serve our district by providing educational opportunities for all to become lifelong learners and productive members of society.
