Cayuga High School

Campus Plan

Process Summary

Cayuga High School, steeped in tradition and dedicated to high standards, has set in motion the campus plan. A committee of parents, teachers, and administrators has met and is continuing to meet to establish and further develop our campus goals and objectives. The goals were divided between academic, campus, and effective schools. These three areas were closely studied and specific need areas addressed for growth. Specific measures have been set in order to measure the objectives. Throughout the year the gauge will be checked so that adjustments can be made and recommendations for the new year can be made. The combined efforts of students, parents, and teachers have guaranteed a successful year for the students of Cayuga High School.

Cayuga High School Mission Statement

The mission of Cayuga High School is to prepare its students to become citizens who are able to make informed and intelligent choices between alternatives they will encounter during their lifetime. In collaboration with parents and community, Cayuga High School will help students develop a desire for excellence, while learning the skills to become contributing members of society.
