East Canton Schools

Our school is the heart of our community. Our students are the present and the future of our society. We have a responsibility to our community, students, and society as a whole to provide the best education possible.
To this end, the mission of The Osnaburg Local School District is as follows:

• To provide a strong sense of teamwork and a family atmosphere that encourages a partnership among students, staff, parents, and community members.

• To promote understanding, appreciation, and respect for all people within our community and the world, regardless of race, creed, and religion.

• To maintain a physically, emotionally, and academically secure environment for all students, regardless of ability, that nurtures self-motivation and recognizes individual self-worth.

• To establish the highest student expectations that demand responsibility, nurture goal setting and encourage problem solving and decision making, while giving opportunities to turn failures into successes.

• To provide academic, extracurricular and co-curricular programs to ensure that every graduate will be prepared for employment or for continued education.

• To recognize the value of the entire staff and to provide the support necessary to ensure the highest level of competence and professional growth.

By embracing these elements, the Osnaburg Local School District will establish an environment which promotes lifelong learning where people value the relevance of education and appreciate the aesthetic aspects of life.
