The mission/purpose of Seminole Public Schools is to help all students develop their capacities to the highest degree possible, to the end that each may become an effective member of society. This means that the schools are responsible for assisting children, youth, and adults in finding their place in the world’s work, in achieving those attitudes, understandings, and skills essential to the discharge of their responsibilities as citizens, members of homes, producers, and consumers; and in developing those values which promote the physical, mental, and moral welfare of all. The attainment of these purposes necessitates full cooperation of the schools with all agencies in community life, particularly the home, which share responsibility for the welfare and development of children and youth.
