Our Mission

The Jane Addams mission arrived at in collaboration with students, staff, and parents is to produce contributing members of society through a participatory educational process dedicated to: 1) Creating a standards-driven, rigorous academic/vocational environment; 2) Developing critical thinking skills in order to foster independent decision making; 3) Establishing an environment that addresses the needs of all learners, allowing each student to reach his/her maximum potential; 4) Integrating civic and social skills in order that our students function productively in the world community. The staff and students of Jane Addams Vocational High School expect and maintain high standards of learning, professionalism, and behavior and exhibit compassion and respect for one another.
