District 135's Mission is that, in a safe environment, all students will be prepared to meet the challenges of the future.

We Believe

- Children come first. All decisions will be based on what is best for children.

- All students have a right to an appropriate education which is a shared responsibility among students, families, school, and community.

- High standards of expectation and accountability foster good leadership, quality teaching, and excellent learning opportunities for all.

- Learning is best accomplished in a safe, positive, and caring environment supported by effective curriculum and meaningful assessment.

- Learning is enhanced when the school community models and instills responsible citizenship, ethical behavior, and respect for all.

- Respect, mutual trust, and open communication at all levels are essential to a positive learning environment.

- Students need to be prepared for lifelong learning in a diverse global society.

- A quality learning environment requires responsible investment of human and financial resources.

- Excellence is achievable and worth the investment.
