Achieving our mission of providing excellence in education for all students is the primary focus of the Kingsport Board of Education and Kingsport City School staff. The Board of Education is committed to the task of providing educational opportunities for all students who attend the schools under its jurisdiction. A balanced program of instruction will be provided to meet the varied needs and interests of students. The aim of the school system is to provide an integrated curriculum of quality education for all grade levels, stressing the development of understandings, appreciations, desirable attitudes, identified community virtues and special abilities within the student. Beliefs We Believe: Learning is the primary focus of our school system. A safe and supportive learning environment promotes student achievement. Each student should have the opportunity to be engaged in meaningful learning experiences. Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs. Effective collaboration and communication with families as partners in the education of their children are essential. Our educational programs are designed to prepare students to become contributing members of society. Our educational programs should be designed to enhance personal and career opportunities. Decisions should be based on current data and quality research. Policies and procedures support learning, promote the safety and security of students and staff, and meet local, state, and federal mandates. Extra-curricular activities are an important component of the overall educational experience. Our school system should be closely interconnected with other community resources. The success of our school system depends on the commitment of all personnel to high quality standards, expectations and performances. School environments should promote the emotional, nutritional and physical wellness of the students and staff. The effective balance of external and internal communications is essential to the successful operation of the school system.
