Hillsdale High School Mission Statement

Hillsdale High School is a dynamic educational community. All students are held to high academic standards in an environment that welcomes and challenges every individual to learn and grow. We seek new ways to help all students embrace the knowledge and skills needed to adapt and thrive in a world of change.

As an educational community of students, parents, and staff, we are committed to sharing the responsibility for the mission by:

  • Attaining academic excellence through mastery of Hillsdale's ESLRs and district and state content standards.
  • Emphasizing project-based learning coupled with traditional instruction.
  • Creating school pride and a safe community through greater respect for self, others, and our environment.
  • Developing greater personalization and a culture that embodies integrity, honesty, and individual responsibility through smaller learning communities and collaboration.
  • Working together with the larger community.
  • Preparing ourselves for change in a technological society, and
  • renewing our mission.

This Mission Statement gives us the ability to see Hillsdale not only as it is, but as we would like it to become.
