Statement of Philosophy

The County School Board of Botetourt County believes...

. . . that the way of life cherished in the United States is founded on a great spiritual heritage, the ability of people to govern themselves through representative government, and a recognition of the dignity and integrity of the individual;

. . . that the home, the church, and the school are basic institutions responsible for the development of our children;

. . . that to preserve the ideals upon which our country was founded and to meet the great challenges facing our country and the world today, it is imperative that we maintain a public school system that functions according to democratic principles and has as its primary objective the development of worthy members of our society;

. . . that school practices and policies evolve from a knowledge of the nature of boys and girls, convictions regarding the environment most conducive to learning, and a commitment to the fundamental principles underlying our form of government.
