East Stroudsburg Area School District

As a result of a consensus building process involving professional staff members, support staff members, a school board member, community/business representatives, parents and students, the Strategic Planning Steering Committee (SPSC) formulated the mission statement for the school district. Its development was based on a review and analysis of the material generated through a district-conducted survey involving all segments of the school community resulting in the identification of beliefs, strengths and weaknesses and opportunities and threats. The beliefs of the School District appear below.

       We believe that:

• All students can learn.

• All students have the right to an education in a safe environment.

• All students should embrace diversity.

• Motivation is essential for learning.

• Clear and consistent discipline creates a positive school community.

• All members of the educational community should be treated with mutual respect.

• School, family and community partnership is vital to student self-confidence and success.

• Competence in technological skills is imperative for future productivity.

• Continuous evaluation and improvement of the educational system is essential.

• Financial support of education is a meaningful investment in the entire community.
