Hull High School
The Mission
The faculty, staff, and administration of Hull High School believe that the school exists for the benefit of the students and community. We value our students as individuals and are convinced that active involvement in our academic programs, enriched by fine arts, athletics, and extracurricular activities, is the best means to attain the mission of the Hull Public Schools. It is our mandate to motivate, inspire, and empower our students to achieve at the highest possible levels of education, and to promote respect, integrity, creativity, compassion, and self-esteem. Therefore, we must provide a safe, comfortable, and secure learning environment, one which encourages our students to pursue their aspirations, to maximize their aptitudes, to develop their intellectual curiosity, and to apply prior learning. We
must inspire students to fulfill their potential and, at the same time, prepare them to participate in the global marketplace as citizens, consumers, and workers. In so doing, each individual has the opportunity to leave Hull High School with a sense of purpose and direction, and with the means to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
