Our Beliefs:
- We believe
that all students have the right to achieve
their highest potential in a learning environment that values effort
and strives for excellence.
We believe in creating a safe environment that promotes mutual
respect, responsibility, and citizenship in every member of our
learning community.
We believe that all HMS
staff members are leaders of future leaders; our actions and
interactions with both students and peers should model
self-discipline, responsibility, integrity and the pursuit of
excellence.
We believe that a variety of
assessments are essential to informing instruction and acquiring an
accurate measurement of student achievement and growth.
We believe that a successful
school involves all members of the school community (parents,
students, teachers,
and staff) in the decision-making process.
We believe that all
professional educators should continually investigate and implement
current research-based instructional methods to achieve a higher
level
of student engagement.
We believe that the primary
focus of Heritage Middle School is student learning.
