Philosophy

The staff at Jere Whitson Elementary School is
dedicated to providing a quality education for every
student.  It is our goal to instill in all students the moral
and social values basic to the needs of the individual
within our culture, the ideals of our democratic society
and a lifelong love for learning.

We recognize that each child is an individual possessing
special characteristics and unique needs.  The
educational program is based on the premise that all
students are capable of learning and that it is our
responsibility to provide a program of study that will
enable every individual to achieve all that their abilities
will allow.
