I, therefore, believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.” —William Tylar Page PLEDGE of ALLEGIANCE to THE FLAG I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

As a student of this school and community, you should have, by now, adopted certain prescribed attitudes and values, which typify a student approaching maturity. The rewards and satisfactions you receive for your schoolwork and activities will be equal to your determination and eagerness to seek excellence. Likewise, the knowledge from your work will be directly related to your effort. We are now in an era in which the growth of knowledge is more rapid than ever before. To be prepared for a successful life, today’s students must not be satisfied with present knowledge but must also be motivated to be involved in the life long process of acquiring knowledge. Knowledge is indeed that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another. A truly educated individual in today’s society is aware of the infinite dimensions of knowledge and possesses the skill to explore the vastness of knowledge. (In the words of —Addison) Educational Philosophy As an integral part of the community, Peru High School should provide experience and opportunities for all students to develop the general skills needed for the multiple roles of adulthood. The school should help the student develop respect for the dignity of self and others, and grow in his/her insight and tolerance in order to be able to live and work cooperatively within society. Peru High School encourages students to remain in or return to school until they are ready for higher education, vocational/technical training, or employment. Ultimately, the function of the school is to establish a program of education that will encour- age each individual to develop intellectual, social, and physical abilities and emotional well- being so that the individual may live a maximally satisfying life and contribute significantly as a citizen of the world. Social and aesthetic values should also be fostered within the school environment toward the development of a more humanistic interaction, in society All members of the faculty should set an example of scholarship and intellectual curiosity in his own field of teaching, and demonstrate active interest in all phases of education. To these ends, the program of Peru High School should undergo continuous evaluation and adjustment in order to effectively reflect the changing needs of the community and society at large. 4 NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT Education services, programs, instruction, and facilities will not be denied to anyone in the Peru Community School Corporation as a result of his or her age, race, color, national origin, sex, or handicapped condition.
