Mission Statement

The Mission of Pyramid Lake Jr/Sr High School is to provide a quality education for all students, focusing on academics careers and higher education preparation, and social and personal development, while building self-esteem through Native American cultural awareness conducted in a safe and compassionate learning environment.

We Believe:

Students’ learning needs should be the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of the school.

All students can learn.

Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches to support their learning.

Students learn best when they have appropriate opportunities for success.

A student’s self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students, staff and community.

A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.

Students learn to make appropriate decisions given a supportive and challenging learning environment.

Culture diversity can increase students understanding of different peoples and cultures.

Teachers, administrators, parents, and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school’s mission.

The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.
