Our District Mission [School Board Policy AD]
The Huerfano Re-1 School District shall strive to provide a safe environment, meaningful opportunities and innovative educational programs for all students so that they reach their learning potential, including that they meet or exceed state and district content standards, through partnerships between home, school and the community.
The Board of Education, representing the citizens of the School District Re-1, in Huerfano County, State of Colorado, has the responsibility of providing a comprehensive program of educational opportunity for each individual regardless of race, creed, color, sex, or socioeconomic background.
We are committed to providing quality education to all students, and in so doing; we attempt to help each child develop to his fullest capacity. Our aim is to provide learning experiences which will enable our students to function in society. We strive to have our students see the relationship in the immediate world around them and appreciate the contributions made by others. We wish to have our students realize that they are important members of our society.
It should be emphasized that the schools support the basic principle that every individual should have the freedom of choice regarding the form of his/her career, subject to his personal limitations and rights of others.
Our public schools are, therefore, dedicated to the development of ideals, knowledge, skills, attitudes and behavior which will promote the development of an individual to live in our society.
It is our firm hope, that as a result of our efforts, our students will demonstrate the ability to think critically and objectively and be able to contribute to our ever changing society.
