Mission, Vision, and Beliefs
Mission Statement
The mission of the faculty and staff of Berea High School is to prepare our students to become productive, responsible citizens who make a difference in the local and global communities.
Our Vision
The world needs people who not only know how to read, write, and compute but who are also willing and able to contribute to the common good. The world needs people who can gather and use information, who can create and adapt, who can think and solve problems independently and with others. The world needs people who, as they earn a living and as they make a life, also make a difference. The world needs people who are committed to excellence and who are inspired to serve. We at Berea High School are committed to creating a challenging, supportive environment and to providing meaningful opportunities for all students to realize their full potential while in school and throughout their lives.
