"Southwest High School is committed to promoting academic excellence, creativity, critical thinking, lifetime learning skills, and physical well being for all students in a safe learning environment. Southwest recognizes cultural diversity and global interdependence and nurtures a respect of the environment. Southwest functions in a collaborative relationship of staff, students, parents, administrators, and community members."
The language needs to concise and clear. It should represent a challenge and be meaningful.
One comment is economic diversity - cultural and ethnic diversity. Should those be words or implied words in the mission statement? How can it say something people can use as a guide and yet not be so long?
Should the first statement be a statement of the obvious and the second is the commitment? Rather than recognizes -- is the school's mission leading to actions in these matter? What would that sound like?
