Mission: It is the intent of the faculty to lead students toward being disciplined, productive, informed, and fulfilled individuals. To achieve these ideals, mutual respect and understanding must be present in the learning process on the part of all participants--the faculty, students, and community.

Philosophy: Mountain House’s philosophy is based on the idea that the purpose of education is to provide a continuation of essential learning. It is our ultimate goal to supply each student with basic facts and experiences. These will aid our youth in becoming self-sufficient individuals mentally, physically, socially, and morally so that they can meet the demands of a rapidly changing society. It is essential to instill in each student the importance of individual worth and to create a positive self-image through the personal development of initiative, resourcefulness, and responsibility.

Values and Beliefs: We value the improvement of student learning and achievement by:

• Providing a challenging instructional program that meets the needs of all students,
• Providing a highly qualified staff,
• Providing safe, clean, and educationally appropriate facilities,
• Managing and using resources in an efficient and effective manner, and
• Involving parents and community stakeholders.
