VISION STATEMENT:
The vision of Meek Elementary School is to prepare our students to
reach their personal potential in a broad range of endeavors. Our
highly qualified and dedicated staff will partner with parents,
community, and students to foster creativity, infuse technology,
inspire critical thinking, and share knowledge within a safe,
secure, and disciplined environment.
Beliefs
1. Learning must be the expected outcome of active participation in
school; therefore the driving force behind all decision making must
be both data driven and atmospheric in nature, considering the whole
child.
2. Learning must be fostered by teachers who are continually
undergoing intense and extended research-based professional
development to more readily meet the needs of students.
3. Learning is fostered when students take an active roll in the
education process, with the support and guidance of faculty,
parents, and community.
4. Learning must be fostered through the effective use of
research-based educational materials and technology, which are
essential parts of the curriculum and student learning.
5. Learning must be fostered through participation in a safe,
equitable environment where a high level of student performance is
expected and required.
Winston County Schools Purpose and Direction
The purpose of the Winston County Schools is to create excellence in
providing youth with the encouragement, peer networks, and
leadership skills necessary for them to make meaningful

leadership and service in the 21st century.
