The mission of Wellesley High School is to provide students with the secondary education that will best help them to live a life of accomplishment and deep satisfaction in a complex, changing world while fulfilling their obligations as citizens in a democratic society. We contribute to the growth of th whole person, physically, emotionally, and intellectually through our commitment to developing many of the qualities indispensable for a happy and productive life, particularly to the general development of the mind in its various capacities. Throughout their lives our students will need to acquire extensive knowledge and experience as a basis for careful reflection, sound judgment, and effective action. They should, therefore, leave our school with an excellent understanding of the world relative to their age, a solid foundation for further learning, both independently and in schools, and a desire to puruse learning and gain wisdom indefinitely
