Vision:

All students who attend Morton Schools are learning personal behaviors, knowledge and skills that are necessary to make informed choices that enrich their lives in the future.

Learning is occurring in a flexible educational environment allowing individual students to achieve their highest potential and interests.

The latest and most current instructional material, meeting the needs of the instructors enhances learning. The instructor’s needs are being identified as part of an ongoing process of updating the long-range plan for curriculum.

The community, staff and students have a positive feeling of pride about their school as an educational leader of the state.

They feel a sense of ownership as they are allowed to participate in the decisions that affect the future of the school. All school grounds and buildings are sage, accessible, functional and aesthetically pleasing which also reflects this community pride.

Mission Statement:
