MISSON STATEMENT
(Revised in 2002 – 2003)
The chief objective of the educational process at Paul D. Schreiber High
School is to ensure that each member of our diverse student body
achieves at his or her highest potential. Our staff is committed to
providing an extensive program that combines academic, co-curricular,
athletic and community service opportunities. Our goal is to prepare
students to participate in a dynamic, changing society by helping each
individual acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes, while at
the same time allowing students to exercise individual creativity and
independent thinking in order to achieve personal fulfillment. In pursuing
this vision, we seek to work in a partnership with the community, and to
encourage all members of the professional staff, students and parents to
contribute their views as part of the democratic process. In this way, we
can create a caring and safe environment where respect for the rights of
all and appreciation of differences prevail.
