MISSION STATEMENT

The Southern Berkshire Regional School District, in partnership with families and other participating citizens, welcomes all students into a challenging, lifelong commitment toward personal success and academic excellence. The goals of this inclusive community are to teach each student to acquire skills and knowledge, apply that knowledge, make decisions, and solve problems. Students will be taught to respect and value individual responsibility, creativity and potential, and to appreciate and respect diversity. The goal is to teach students to communicate effectively with others through reading, writing, language, mathematics, the arts, science, and technology. Within a safe and trusting educational environment, the community will help students to develop and demonstrate the skills necessary for their social and emotional well-being. Meeting these goals will prepare students to develop a love of learning, acquire knowledge as part of a life-long process, make positive choices, and adapt to a changing world. By attaining these goals, students optimize their potential and become respectful, responsible, and productive citizens of the global society.
