Philosophy and
Purpose of Education
The purpose of public education is to
provide all students with a series of disciplined learning experiences that will
challenge them to mature and aspire to contribute to society and to experience
lives that are personally meaningful in our culture.
To achieve this goal, schools depend upon channels of communication.
All educators and citizens should be informed and exchange ideas relating to
mutual needs of community and school.
Our schools have the responsibility to recognize each student as an
individual and to assist in each student’s social, emotional, intellectual,
physical, and cultural growth to the best of that student’s ability.
Each pupil should be challenged to exert some genuine effort in the
acquisition of desirable skills and concepts. A significant part of this
responsibility must be shared by and with the home.
Indeed, our schools should provide a fundamental foundation in
democratic principles by encouraging students to pursue special interest areas
and by encouraging students to develop an appreciation of one’s worth and
respect for others.
Support by the community and the local school authority is a major
condition for sound program development in our school system. Imagination,
industry, initiative and expertise of the professional staff are also essential
factors in implementing this development.
Mission Statement
The school community has high expectations for individuals and provides and environment and the necessary resources to promote collaborative and reflective learning supported by the school theme of perseverance, respect, individuality, dignity, and excellence.
Philosophy and
Objectives
Because Old Town
High School is an integral part of society, our school must provide its students
with an education which will enable them to function well and responsibility
within that society. To that end, our school must impart the knowledge, skills,
and attitudes, commensurate with ability, to assure its graduates success in
whatever productive roles they choose. It is also recognized that our school is
a cooperative venture in which students, parents, faculty, school staff,
administration, and community have obligations to fulfill.

faculty, school staff, administration, and community.

Accreditation Statement
Old Town High School is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., a non-governmental, nationally-recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering post graduate instruction.
Accreditation of an
institution by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds
criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied
through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one
which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes
through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives
reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation
by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as
a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or
program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides
reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students
who attend the institution.
Inquiries regarding the status of an institution’s accreditation by the New
England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the school
or college. Individuals may also contact the Association:
