WAYLAND HIGH SCHOOL

MISSION AND EXPECTATIONS STATEMENT

Approved by Faculty and School Committee 5/03

|Personal and civic responsibility, love of |
|learning, and empathy for others: these are |
|the qualities that Wayland High School seeks|
|to instill in its students. At its core, our|
|mission is to provide a rigorous and |
|stimulating academic environment that |
|promotes the acquisition of knowledge and |
|skills. Yet we deem it equally important to |

|conscientious individuals. We strive to |
|create a climate where risk-taking is |
|safeguarded, open expression is encouraged, |
|and free association is protected. Our goal |
|is to advance our students' growth into |
|principled, informed, and capable citizens |
|who will help guide a democracy that follows|
|humanitarian principles in the global forum,|
|and shape a just society where individuals |
|may reach their full potential. |

WAYLAND HIGH SCHOOL HONOR CODE

Written for students by students

The Wayland High School Honor Code enables students to work together as a
community. The Code will work if each member of the school community abides
by it. If each person follows the Code, there will be an atmosphere of
respect, trust, and consideration.

General Responsibilities and Expectations

1. Property -- Respect for individual and school possessions
Wayland High School is a place for personal and academic growth, and
destruction of the school's property reduces its worth to me. My actions
affect everyone around me, and I agree to protect my school knowing others
are helping me with my goal of maintaining the school's valuable property.


2. Personal -- Respect for individuals as people
