Vision Statement:
The Bullock County Public School System will provide a clean, safe and secure setting, and through its educational process, will motivate, excite, and challenge learners in a safe, supportive environment. High expectations will give all students the incentive to become active problem-solvers and community-oriented citizens. Students will value and strive toward ownership of their learning, setting personal goals to reach their highest potential. We will support teachers both philosophically and financially to create and maintain a positive learning and working environment. We will respect and recognize teachers for their knowledge, abilities, dedication, and commitment. We will afford them the opportunities to collaborate and plan with other professionals, exchanging ideas and information vital to the curriculum and to their growth as educators. School administrators and teachers will talk with parents and the community about philosophy, teaching approaches, curriculum, resources, and state curriculum demands. Schools will be an asset to the community by forming partnership with key stakeholders; while promoting generational collaboration which will produce responsible, model citizens. The Bullock County Public School System will respect all students and our school curriculum will address students' individual needs, talents, and differences. We will offer enrichment opportunities that expand basic curriculum to students and community members.We will give students information and support that will aid in their understanding of the individual course requirements and the grading structure. We will treat students as a valued partner in the education process and when appropriate, give them opportunities to provide ideas into school policy, curriculum development and other issues affecting student development.
