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 Greenville Public School District's "Tech Prep" program offers a path to tomorrow.

New jobs are being created everyday. In Mississippi, as in every other state in the nation, the success of new and expanding businesses depends on a technically sophisticated workforce that responds to rapid advancements in technology, global economic competition, and dramatic changes in the workplace by solving technical problems, working effectively with others, and integrating and communicating information.

Greenville’s Tech Prep initiative provides students with the skills and competencies needed in the workplace today and tomorrow. It integrates college-prep coursework with vocational and technical applications. A technical education concentration is included. This planned sequence of courses begins in the middle schools and is articulated to the community college, leading to an associate of applied science degree. Students may also pursue a four-year baccalaureate degree, if so desired.

Discovery courses are offered for students in grade 7 (Career Discovery), grade 8 (Computer Discovery), and grade 9 (Technology Discovery). These courses provide a basis for implementing applied academic instructional methods in math, science, and communications and for integrating academic skills and vocational skills. Courses at the high school level are articulated with both vocational-technical courses and academic courses at the community college level and programs have been implemented to provide school-to-work transition skills.
