Mission & Vision

Mission

We make learning relevant through career based education.


 

Vision 

We encourage our students to commit themselves to academic achievement, the pursuit of excellence, and the highest ethical standards. Students accept responsibility for their own lives, their actions, and the impact they have on changing society as they continue their lifelong process of learning. The community is involved in the decision making process, facilitating the shared educational experience to link the school campus with the outside world.

 

Our campus has become four schools-within-a-school.  Students have the choice of aligning themselves with any one of the Small Learning Communities on our campus.

 

Criminal Justice – provides our students with the background for a life in public service.  Students in this academy will focus on careers that support the constitutional rights of every American.

 

Engineering – provides our students with the tools they need to become the designers of our future.  Students are empowered to think critically, to identify and solve problems, to chase their own curiosity, and to apply what they learn in the classroom to solving real world needs.

 

Visual and Performing Arts - Identifying and nurturing the artistic instincts of our students to build a collaborative and creative community through a rigorous artistic, career technical education, and standards-based academic curriculum with a variety of artistic disciplines.


Our Motto: "Hawthorne High School - A Community Built on PRIDE"
