Prentice School District

MISSION STATEMENT: The residents of the Prentice School District believe that education is a continuing lifelong process of growing and maturing that must fulfill the needs of this rapidly changing society, while still preserving the unique ethnic heritage of our area. The aim of formal education is to develop sound minds and personalities within sound bodies, and to inspire and encourage moral values leading to socially acceptable behavior and integrity through self-discipline. This formal education shall be conducted in a democratic manner with ample opportunity for students to practice democratic procedures, and to embrace personal responsibility. It shall teach students the basic skills and encourage positive attitudes toward the “dignity of work” helping them become productive and constructive additions to our society. It is the responsibility of our schools to instruct effectively to meet the individual and collective needs of all students. It is further the responsibility of our homes, churches, and community to support this educational process, making us worthy of being “One Nation Under God.”
