Mission/Vision Statement

We believe that all the youth of this community should be given an equal opportunity for a general education that will help them to become good citizens for democratic living.
We believe our school should provide an educational environment that will assist all students to fulfill their needs, interests, and abilities so that they may develop to their maximum capabilities.
We believe that it is as important to learn to live a full and complete life as it is to learn to be self-sufficient.
Therefore, the total development of each individual to his/her highest potential is the primary concern of the Wausa School System.
