WRSD Educational Philosophy

The community of White River, its students, parents, teachers, administrators and Board of Education have the responsibility to prepare our students for a productive role in a democratic society. Learning should be a continuous process for our students, including opportunities for learning basic academic and technological skills and exploring general, vocational, and extracurricular areas of interest. Separate curricular entities must come together in an interdisciplinary approach in order for each student to achieve maximum growth mentally, emotionally, and physically.
