Mission Statement
The School District of Florence County is committed to empowering all students
with knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to be successful,
contributing citizens in an ever-changing global society.
Our commitment to this mission is evident with the extensive comprehensive
educational restructuring that is occurring in our district. Our
elementary teaching staff has completed a three-year training program
following the researched-based model, High/Scope Our middle school and high school teaching staff has completed a three-year
program following the model, Expeditionary
Learning/Outward Bound. Both research-based models emphasize
active learning, with authentic, performance-based projects. This form
of learning develops higher-level thinking skills where students understand
the connections between learning and life. Instruction with these two
educational reform models have been enhanced through a federal physical
education grant providing Adventure Education programming with Project
Adventure.
