Joppa Junior Senior High School

Mission Statement:
Joppa High School, part of Joppa-Maple Grove Unit District #38, is dedicated to the fullest possible development in socially approved directions of each of its individual students. It is the purpose of the school to provide an environment designed to aid each student to mature intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally to the limits of his/her abilities and interests.

We believe that education is a cooperative venture shared by the school and the youth community. We believe education should seek to develop to the fullest the capacities of the individual as a human personality and to prepare him/her for effective participation in a democratic society.

We believe that each individual student in our school district is entitled to, and should receive, the best possible education, according to his/her abilities, interests, and abilities.

We believe education is guided growth and that each individual should understand the evolving American way of life. This goal should result in enlightened, loyal citizens eager to contribute their acquired skills, leisure time and knowledge for the betterment of society and the world in which we live.
