Preparing For School, for The Community, and for The World
School Philosophy
The faculty and administration of Fruitdale High School submit the following statement of philosophy:
We believe that the responsibility of educating the youth of the Fruitdale community is our prime objective. We feel that learning must be a joyful experience that leads to the success of every child. We believe that schools should provide students with learning situations and experiences to develop their innate abilities to their fullest potential. However, we are fully aware that school personnel must solicit community resources, use school facilities, teach skills and materials, and expend their energy and enthusiasm toward the development of this goal.
While emphasis is placed on a basic educational program with the elementary school providing experiences that allow students to acquire basic skills and knowledge that aid in initiating and maintaining mental, physical, social, emotional and ethical development, it is also necessary that further development of these skills take place in junior and senior high school as well.
We, as educators, strive to provide proven and accepted methods and techniques of teaching with the ultimate outcome being to develop the individual student to his/her greatest capacity and to improve his/her ability to make wise decisions concerning his/her personal, civic and social life.
