SHREWSBURY HIGH SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT

The Shrewsbury High School community provides challenging, diverse learning opportunities; promotes creativity and independent thinking; and empowers students to become capable, caring, and active contributors to the world in which they live.

SHREWSBURY HIGH SCHOOL’S CORE VALUES

The Shrewsbury High School community has worked to identify our school’s core values and beliefs. A committee comprised of students, staff and parents utilized current educational research to identify and highlight the core values, beliefs and 21st-century learning expectations that help drive our educational programming. The work of the committee and faculty resulted in the identification of our Core Values and Beliefs which are: Life-Long/Reflective Learners, Equity, Advocacy, Dedication, Empathy, Responsibility/Respect and identified the 21st-century skills that all Shrewsbury High School students will demonstrate upon graduation. We have shared our values in an acronym L.E.A.D.E.R to help ensure that all students can easily identify our school community’s values and beliefs regarding their education.
