MISSION STATEMENT
The Mauston School District is
committed to preparing a
foundation for life-long learners to
become the "spirit" of the community.
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
We believe that the School District of Mauston exists to assist each student to
develop to his/her fullest capacity, for his/her own benefit and for the benefit
of his/her community, state, nation, and the world.
We believe that there are certain attitudes which should be held by and about
the school community. These include:
1. That both in theory and practice, the school must show that it believes in
the basic worthiness of each individual and in the brotherhood of mankind.
2. The belief that our schools are responsible not only for presenting the
theory of freedom through democracy, but, for insuring as well that each student
be privileged and encouraged to participate in the democratic process within the
school system.
3. The realization that the student is more fully served when the community and
the schools are cooperatively inter-involved.
4. The acknowledgement that curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular
activities as well as the methodology should be subject to continual evaluation
and update.
5. The acknowledgement that our schools, working in and with the community,
should make a maximum effort to meet the academic, aesthetic, social, and
vocational needs of each student.
