The Mission of St. Lucie Public Schools is to ensure that all students graduate from safe and caring schools, equipped with knowledge, skills and the desire to succeed.

The Mission

Page 3: St. Lucie Public Schools Substitute Training

Principals of Professional Practice

The educator values the worth and dignity of every person, the pursuit of truth, devotion to excellence, acquisition of knowledge and the nurture of democratic citizenship. Essential to the achievement of these standards are the freedom to learn and to teach and the guarantee of equal opportunity for all.

The educator’s primary professional concern will always be for the student and for the development of the student’s potential. The educator will therefore strive for professional growth and will seek to exercise the best professional judgment and integrity. 

The educator is aware of the importance of maintaining the respect and confidence of one’s colleagues, of students, of parents and of other members of the community, the educator strives to achieve and sustain the highest degree of ethical conduct.
