All courses and programs have been developed with the philosophy that excellence in education is equally important for all students, regardless of interest or ability. The pursuit of a course of study should be appropriate to meet the needs of the present, as well as for the changing needs of the future.

ASSURANCE OF NONDISCRIMINATION No student shall be denied the right to participate in any school program, education service, or activity because of the student’s race, religion, color, sex, national origin, or disability. The district has coordinated its efforts to comply with the nondiscrimination requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, dealing with rights of students with disabilities. All complaints shall be handled through established channels and procedures beginning with the building principal, followed by Mrs. Lindsey, Superintendent, and, finally, the Board of Trustees.
