Mission Statement
The mission of the Neil Armstrong Program is to provide a continuum of services to meet the educational, social, emotional, and physical needs of the students.
Individual capabilities are supported by a positive teaching/learning environment in which each student is prepared to become a responsible and contributing member of society.
We are therefore committed to the following objectives:
* To foster self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-discipline;
* To develop an awareness of and appreciation for cultural diversity;
* To stimulate intellectual curiosity and growth;
* To provide fundamental career concepts and skills;
* To help students develop sensitivity to the needs and values of others and respect for individual and group differences;
* To help each student strive for excellence and instill a desire to reach his or her potential;
* To develop the fundamental skills which will provide a basis for lifelong learning;
* To be free of any sexual, cultural, ethnic, or religious bias.
