Career Readiness Mission Statement
At Rochester Community Schools, we are committed to empowering our students with the necessary skills and knowledge required to navigate their future career paths confidently. We believe that career readiness is not a destination but an ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth that begins from a young age and continues through adulthood.
Our mission is to prepare our students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st-century job market. This journey begins in elementary school where we aim to inspire our students with the boundless possibilities their futures hold. In middle school, we provide resources and guidance to explore various career paths and industries. High school is the stage of integration where we help students understand the connections between their academic experiences and potential career opportunities.
We foster in our students a sense of purpose, and help them carve a path that aligns their skills, interests, and values with their professional aspirations.
