Tri County High School | Mission Statement

Mission Statement

The mission of Tri-County High School is to create a supportive community that provides students with a foundation for life-long learning by addressing the intellectual, physical, emotional, social and career needs of at-risk students and to successfully transition students back to their home schools.

Tri-County High School Believes:

Students can improve achievement levels in math, language arts, social studies and science if a rigorous, standards-based curriculum, aligned with the West Virginia Content Standards and Objectives is implemented.
Students have a right to a safe, supportive, and challenging environment that allows opportunities to improve self-concept by experiencing success in social and academic endeavors.
Students will benefit greatly when parents/guardians, teachers, and students work together and communicate openly to achieve the common goals for academic success.
Students have a right to be respected and to be treated with respect.
Students have a right to an education that is based upon the findings of research in learning and best practices.
Students will attend school more regularly if a more personalized atmosphere is provided.
Students will be encouraged to acquire independent learning and living skills if they are instilled with a sense of responsibility.

Philosophy

The main purpose of alternative education is to offer educational choices which will encourage development in those individuals whose educational needs are not met by traditional programs. It is, therefore, the responsibility of educators to understand and employ program designs, methods of instruction, and materials which provide the student with the best choices and educational experiences possible. It is the responsibility of students to avail themselves of these special opportunities and to seek their highest level of achievement. Throughout the process, the educator must encourage students to believe in themselves in order that they may grow toward fulfillment of their goals.

This alternative program addresses those students who are identified as potential dropouts from school. It is designed to allow educators the latitude to permit students to function at their own levels, to experience success and to generate sufficient self-esteem to prevent their dropping out of the school system.
