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.

In the fall of 2001, Greenville High School and Weston High School merged to become one, now Greenville-Weston High School, located on two campus sites. By so doing, the schools joined a national education reform initiative designed to help all students perform better in school. It's called First Things First.

The federally-funded initiative first implemented in all Kansas City, Kansas schools differs from other school reform efforts because it emphasizes raising all students' level of achievement, not just the performance of those who are performing poorly or those who are doing well. First Things First accomplishes change by strengthening the relationships among students and adults and creating small learning communities intensely focused on improving the quality of teaching and learning in every classroom. Schools reduce class size and groups of students stay with the same teachers and staff for longer periods during the day and for multiple years.

Each campus site consists of small learning communities with approximately 200 students in each. Students choose an SLC based upon their academic interests. The following SLC's are offered on the Greenville or the Weston Campus.

	Applied Engineering/Trades (Greenville Campus) is designed to stimulate the students' interest in the ever-changing world of technology and trade. Hands-on opportunities will be provided for students to pursue a satisfying career. They will be afforded opportunities to take courses at the Technical Center in such areas as automotive mechanics, technology applications/CADD/CAM/PLC/Quality Control and trades.
