The mission of Polk County Public Schools is to provide a high-quality education for all students.
In accomplishing this mission, we envision that students will effectively:
read, write, compute, speak, listen, and use complex thinking skills to solve problems
be self-directed in creating personal purpose and vision, setting priorities, choosing ethical action, and creating their own knowledge
cooperate and collaborate with others in working with and leading groups, interact positively in diverse settings, recognize the value and contributions of all individuals, and make positive contributions to their communities
understand and use social, organizational, and technological systems; design, monitor, improve and correct performance within a system; and create viable products
