2. Mission Statement
To develop and maintain a community of life-long learners it is essential to educate the “whole- student.”  While we strive to challenge every student through rigorous and engaging tasks, we also look to support each individual’s passion and talents with a diversified arts program.  We believe that it is necessary for students to learn how to work collaboratively and support each other through success and difficulty.  We further believe that in order for any individual student to be successful, he or she needs to develop genuine tenacity, resilience, independence, and tolerance.  Our mission at JHS 194 is to ensure every child has the supports necessary to demonstrate GRIT and attain their greatest success.
