Our Mission Statement
The mission of August Martin High School is to further develop, inform, and prepare productive
citizens in our multicultural, democratic society by providing every student with a quality education
and to provide a positive environment where students are known and valued as they examine their
place in the world and discover ways in which learning impacts their lives. We provide opportunities
for personal exploration and restore the power of curiosity to fuel the quest for knowledge. Our
students are lifetime learners in the global community, participatory citizens living in a democracy,
and prospective members of the world marketplace.
The following tenets comprise our mission:
August Martin High School addresses the needs of its students, encouraging success in the
academics, nurturing individual differences, making available programs and resources to meet
individual needs. Extra and co-curricula activities are provided so that students will develop a
comprehensive range of abilities necessary for successful participation in our society. Students will
be encouraged to become lifelong learners. When August Martin High School was opened in 1971,
it was dedicated to the spirit of a young aviator who overcame many obstacles and gained success
in his career while losing his life in an
attempt to help his fellow men.
Our Vision

the education of August Martin students.
