Vision
Central Preston Middle School community is dedicated to providing student-centered programs within a safe, drug-free environment of mutual trust conducive to the continuing development of life-long learners.
Mission Statement
We believe it is our responsibility to provide the best possible educational environment so that each student can learn to the fullest extent of his/her ability. We believe all students can and must learn. We will provide the opportunity for each child to learn the skills necessary for the successful transition to high school and adult life, becoming secure, productive and responsible citizens of society.
School Philosophy
We, the staff of Central Preston Middle School, do hereby commit ourselves to the responsibility of providing the best possible education for those students entrusted to us. Each and every student in our school is unique. Unique in the sense of rates and patterns of physical, mental, social and emotional growth. In order to facilitate this process, we will attempt to consider each child as an esoteric individual and work with him or her to build upon these strengths, improve the weaknesses and broaden the base of knowledge each student possesses. We aspire that education is a composite process involving a vast gamma of experiences designed to improve skills, knowledge and attitudes. In order to accomplish this, we will define and implement strategies of educational instruction and planning based upon the student's past achievements and deficits. When working with each student, we will utilize a variety of resources and materials in attaining learner outcomes. Evaluation will provide the means to assess the degree of student progress.
Factual knowledge is of minimal value to an individual unless he or she can apply this knowledge to enhance his or her own self-image as well as the community in which he or she lives. We want students to recognize the need for developing self-initiative and self-motivation
so that he or she can realize the significance of becoming an independent individual. This will make the transition from childhood to adolescence a more positive experience. A program of individualization with flexibility will help produce a person successfully achieving academically, socially, physically, culturally and emotionally at their mental and maturity level; thus, influencing their attitudes towards educational opportunities not only in school but throughout their lifetime.
It is our desire that a sincere commitment be given throughout the entire school system. The outcome is the responsibility of the administration, teachers, staff, students, parents and school community.
It is only through a unified commitment by all parties involved that the optimum in educational opportunities can be achieved. We pledge ourselves at Central Preston Middle School to strive toward each student's realization of those pre-requisite skills necessary for him or her to become a productively dependable and secure member of society.
