Mission

The mission of Greenville Public Schools is to provide all students with a quality education that adheres to rigorous and challenging standards so that they will experience success and become productive members of society.

 

   
The Barksdale Reading Institute is designed to dramatically improve the skills of preK-3 children through a systematic and direct implementation of a continuous improvement, research-based Mississippi Reading Reform Model. Teachers perform informal assessments to determine whether children have reading difficulties. They evaluate the assessment results and prescribe interventions. BRI works with the schools to develop student-specific interventions, including cooperative learning procedures, to allow teachers to work one-on-one with children. Paid and volunteer tutors work with preK-3 children to enhance fluency and comprehension skills. The Barksdale Reading Institute was established with a $100-million endowment from former Netscape CEO, Jim Barksdale and his wife, Sally.
