Peoria Heights School District

PHILOSOPHY

Peoria Heights Community Unit School District #325 is established and dedicated to work to meet the educational interests, needs, and priorities of the parents and students we serve in this community. We recognize the value, unique needs, and contributions of each individual student; and we provide a well-rounded and challenging educational program which will give the student a sound academic foundation upon which to build, grow, and become a secure and productive member of society. Our schools and staff seek to encourage and develop thinking and communication skills, creativity, diversity, sportsmanship, and citizenship, by offering and encouraging student participation through a variety of academic programs and extra curricular activities which will instruct, prepare for the future, and motivate the student. We recognize student and staff pride and responsibility as key factors in the achievement of our mutual goal in working to provide an exemplary, quality education to the students in Peoria Heights. Our staff strives to instill within our students a sense of self respect, responsibility, justice, and integrity by serving as examples for them, and providing the leadership and guidance that will allow them to achieve to their fullest potential. We pledge ourselves to the ongoing improvement and refinement of our district's educational program, and our individual roles in it, that it may better serve the students of our school district.
