Mission:

The mission of the Susquehanna Community School District is to nurture an educational environment that will develop life-long learners who will be successful participants in an ever-changing world.  

Vision:

The vision of the Susquehanna Community School District is to educate every child in a safe school environment where effective teaching practices, fiscally responsible and educationally sound resource allocation strategies, and involved parents combine to produce unparalleled results. The teachers of the district will be role models respected by students, parents, faculty and staff. They will instruct and engage their students through the implementation of innovative technological resources and high-quality instructional strategies, such as critical thinking, conceptual understanding and problem-solving.  Students will achieve mastery of all Pennsylvania academic standards and will be prepared for the rigors of life after high school. Students will learn in a safe, comfortable environment under the direction and facilitation of trusting professionals. The learning process for students will be an interactive, enjoyable, collaborative and satisfying experience where all students are given opportunities to demonstrate and apply the concepts, ideas and skills they have learned.  The district will provide students with a safe, nurturing and accepting culture capable of responding to the needs of a diverse community. The comforting atmosphere of the district will provide an effective environment for teaching, learning, professional collaboration, and community involvement. The district’s facilities will be safe, efficient, state-of-the-art, and well-maintained. Resources will be allocated in a fiscally responsible manner according to district priorities. Teachers will have the technology resources, instructional supplies and materials to effectively engage and instruct their students. All parents and/or guardians will be active and involved in their child’s education in a positive manner. Through ongoing communication teachers and parents will work together to ensure student success. Parents will not only be supportive of the educational process that takes place during the instructional day, but will also promote education at home by establishing regular study times, encouraging reading for pleasure, and teaching responsible behavior. Safety, high levels of student achievement, effective teaching and instruction, fiscally responsible decisions and community support will be the bricks in the foundation of the Susquehanna Community School District.
