Metropolitan Vision, Mission and Values
Our Vision
At Metropolitan High School, we nourish our students in a learning environment that is challenging where appropriate, and supportive when needed, so they can build their intellectual curiosity, social skills, and self-confidence.
Our Mission
Metropolitan High School will design positive student-centered instruction through hands-on learning, inquiry, and multiple opportunities for revision. We will create a supportive learning environment through community partnerships, family involvement, and character development. By doing so our students will graduate with the skills to be thoughtful risk takers, self-advocates, and contributing citizens.
Our Core Values
Community: We believe in a strong community; we cultivate relationships with our students and families, we work through disagreements and search for common ground because a strong community leads to strong students.
Belief in Student: We believe our students have the potential to achieve their dreams. As a school community we support students in fulfilling their potential by overcoming initial failures through repeated effort.
Integrity: We value character and honesty. We believe in the power of personal choices and the strength that results from upholding our values.
Resilence: The path to self-improvement necessarily involves setbacks; we teach, value, and reward students who find success through the difficult path of learning from mistakes.
Intellectual Curiosity: More important than knowing a collection of facts or traditional ideas of “being smart,” we believe in asking interesting questions, and pursuing our curiosity about the world.
