ACHILLE

Achille Schools, District I-003, Achille, Bryan County, Oklahoma, are located in rural southeastern Oklahoma. The philosophy of the Achille Public School System is based on the concept that the school should exist for individual students at all socio-economic levels. It should concentrate on providing, through teaching and counseling, equal and adequate opportunities for all students to develop physically, intellectually, socially, and vocationally in order that they might make a contribution to society; that they might be capable of enjoying a cultural, moral, and spiritual life; and that they might recognize and accept their responsibilities in preserving the democracy which has provided for these opportunities. The home is the greatest single influence upon students. It is here that they establish their first habits, ideas, and attitudes. The school is not a substitute for a good home. It is only through cooperation on the part of the school, parent, and community that the child will receive the greatest benefits.
