Core Values

The below Core Values, Beliefs, and Learning Expectations, as well as our academic, civic, and social expectations, are our guiding principles in the development of Stafford High School's policies and procedures. In addition, they serve as a measurement of the success of our programs.
 
Stafford High School, in partnership with students, families and the community, strives to nurture learners that are Productive, Responsible, Independent, and Dedicated to Excellence or "PRIDE". We will develop informed members of a 21st Century global society and expect the highest character, integrity, respect cultural understanding, and ethical behavior. We will provide a safe, supportive, and challenging learning environment in which students have the opportunity to learn in ways that best meet their needs, and can work collaboratively to solve problems and accomplish goals.
