  3. BLOUNT COUNTY SCHOOLS Mission: To Maximize the Academic Potential of Every Child in a Safe and Personalized Environment. The BCS will graduate students who are college and career ready and prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st Century workplace.

  4. • Focus on math and science for all students in all grades. Math and science need to be more coordinated and integrated for maximizing instructional time and producing positive results. Through our math and science curriculum, we need to develop the ability to analyze, synthesize and solve problems from which there are no routine solutions.

  5. Build capacity to sustain educational excellence:We must fully engage our community in our schools. Business and industry and the overall community at large have a vested interest in the success of our school system. We need to find meaningful ways for our community to contribute toward significantly improving our schools.
