I. Vision

under construction

II. Mission

Our mission is to provide a nurturing and learning environment where our students have a chance to succeed and fail, and in the process, develop the tools and strategies necessary for a healthy, life-long endeavor in solving the problems that our local, national and world communities present. In doing this, we believe our students will develop into confident, self-fulfilled, and productive citizens.

III. Philosophy

Mabel-Canton Schools recognize their responsibility for providing an educational program which is available for every person in the area it serves. This program must be so arranged as to afford each person in the area the educational opportunities that will enable individuals to fulfill their responsibilities to the self, home, community, and country and to nurture and foster the democratic way of life.
We recognize our responsibility to provide for the needs of the individuals in our school district. Our purpose is to:

A. provide a comprehensive school program that will offer an inclusive, relevant education for all students;
B. offer the background that provides the greatest range of options for our students to pursue whatever career their ambitions may dictate, and their abilities and persistence can provide;
C. prepare our youth for honorable places in society;
D. foster home-school-church-community relations;
E. develop programs with the flexibility necessary to meet the changes in the world of work;
F. develop human relations, international understanding, and to provide for constructive, wise use of leisure time;
G. develop an appreciation for a continuation of the learning process;
H. provide a means and opportunity for each child to develop a positive self-image; and
I. develop respect for themselves and others.

We understand and affirm our obligation to develop each individual to his/her highest potential because each student will then be able to make his/her just contribution to our democratic way of life. To fulfill this obligation, the complete resources of the area must be utilized; the community, the parents, the faculty, and the students must be involved in a cooperative effort.
