In Hamblen County Schools we believe all students are important and all HCDOE employees share a collective responsibility for the success of every student, every day.  To that end, we hold ourselves, our students, and our stakeholders to high expectations and to the pursuit of excellence in all we do because we believe all students can learn and achieve a high level.

With that as our foundation, we will collaborate, share, and implement best practices, and build district capacity together to ensure every student is valued, every student is treated with respect, and every student is guaranteed a high-quality education responsive to their unique learning needs.  We will do this because we are passionate about student learning and determined that every student will leave our schools as lifelong learners fully prepared to pursue their postsecondary or career pathways.
