Statement of Philosophy
The mission of Gothenburg Schools is to prepare all students to become lifelong learners within a positive and innovative learning environment.
All students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.
All District employees and their roles are important in educating children.
The District should promote all staff, parents, and students to be positive role models.
All students are provided continuous opportunities to learn and succeed.
All students benefit from a safe and nurturing learning environment.
All students benefit from participation in a wide variety of academic experiences and involvement in activities.
Gothenburg is a supportive community that recognizes the tremendous importance of the educational process. As a school district we will work to positively impact all students and provide the necessary resources and support to help them accomplish their individual goals. As educational leaders within this district it is our responsibility to ensure a supportive and safe environment for student learning, which encourages the development of positive relationships and equips students with the necessary foundation for a positive and productive future.
In order to provide meaningful educational experiences for each of our students, it is necessary that the teaching staff, administration, and non-certified staff work together as a team. Mutual respect, responsibility and caring create the best learning environment for students. It is our professional responsibility to help one another and provide words of encouragement to our co-workers. High expectations, quality teaching and positive attitudes promote higher levels of achievement.
Learning is a life-long process for students, teachers and administrators!
