THE AMERICAN CREED
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people,
whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a
republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect Union, one inseparable,
established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which
American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to
obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for
which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
Borden County School maintains that the system exists solely for the students, and its
programs are planned to serve and function for the purpose of developing the whole
student to his or her maximum capabilities.
In order that each student may best realize his or her own potential, we believe that the
student should be provided with the most adequate facilities the community can offer in
which to work and grow.
We believe a well-trained, competent staff should serve each student and be sensitive to
the interests, abilities, and activities of the student and have a knowledge of past records
and home environment in order to help the student grow to capacity and develop in basic
skills, personality, and character.
It is our belief that the school should help develop in each student an awareness of his or
her responsibility to the community as an active participant. In return, it is the
responsibility of the community to furnish the educational system with the monetary and
advisory support for an adequate educational program.
We further believe each student should be taught the basic, fundamental learning
techniques that will result in a continuing process of growth.
We firmly believe the teachers and administrators of our school should function as a
well-informed and enthusiastic team in promoting and developing all phases of the
educational process and should at all times be aware of professional standards and
practices as set forth in the code of ethics of the teaching profession.
In order to carry out these philosophies, our school should work toward the following
objectives:
Lead, direct, and assist each student in developing an understanding and
appreciation of our American heritage and his or her responsibilities and obligations
as a citizen.
Provide an atmosphere in which each student can develop a capacity to be creative
in thoughts and actions.
