OUR SCHOOL MISSION
Question: What is our school’s mission?
Every school has a mission.
The mission of the faculty, students, parents
and community of Terrebonne High School is to
establish a strong foundation for lifelong
learning by nurturing, guiding, and challenging
all of our students to achieve to their maximum
potential.
The shortened version is:
THS: Where
learning lasts a lifetime.
The mission statement is on our website, on
correspondence, in student agendas, on every
email I send out, and on some teachers’ CEOs
(Class Expectations and Objectives).
Our mission statement drives everything we do.
Here are just a few examples
·
A Whole Child’s approach to education by
offering a rigorous standards-based curriculum,
athletics, band, a full-facilities Guidance
Department, certified teachers, many support
systems, etc.
·
ASAP (Accelerated Student Achievement Pathways)
·
JAG (Jobs for America’s Graduates)
·
After school tutoring
·
Community outreach
·
A technology-rich environment
·
Library services
·
And so much more!
