Berea’s Mission Statement

We believe that it is a shared responsibility among Berea’s stakeholders to foster positive academic, emotional, social, and physical growth in a nurturing risk-free environment. Diversity will be celebrated, creating students who respect one another and embrace differences. Through the implementation of the learning standards and an aligned curriculum, creative and critical thinkers will meet and exceed school district standards, ensuring future school success and lifelong learning.
