Fulfilling the Promise of Public Education
Public education is at the heart of our community. It shapes who we are. In Frederick County, our promise is to empower our young people no matter who they are, no matter their backgrounds or circumstances. We want them to be prepared to succeed in college and careers.
Therefore, our mission is to:
- Inspire: Empower students to become lifelong learners and leaders by fostering a culture of curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking within our schools and communities.
- Motivate: Cultivate a supportive and inclusive environment where all students, staff, and families are valued, respected, and motivated to achieve their highest potential, ensuring equity and opportunity for every learner.
- Innovate: Drive educational excellence through continuous improvement, leveraging innovative strategies, technology, and partnerships to prepare students for success in an ever-changing world.
Frederick County depends on the opportunities that our schools guarantee. Public education keeps our community moving forward. It prepares our future community leaders, our business leaders, and our workforces.
The children we educate today will be the adults caring for our community's health, homes, businesses, and neighborhoods tomorrow. Frederick County's investment in public education is an investment in our future.
