PITTSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL'S CORE VALUESWe believe that it is the responsibility of Pittsfield High School not only to reflect the community, but also in cooperation with the home and other institutions, guide our young people to maturity by helping them to understand themselves and the world in which they live. We provide an atmosphere that fosters a love of learning, encourages intellectual inquiry, and promotes the growth of personal, civic, and social responsibility.

Because the school recognizes individual interests and abilities, it provides classroom and extracurricular activities in a varied and ever-evolving program designed to satisfy our diversity of intellectual, social, emotional, and physical needs. We recognize our professional responsibility to provide an environment, which will allow individual treatment of students, facilitate flexibility in response to special needs, and promote attitudes and behaviors which are non-prejudicial regarding a student's ability, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and health status.

We are committed to a continuing search for innovative teaching methods. We believe that beyond the immediate goal of providing the academic needs for college preparation and career training, is the higher responsibility of helping the individual student achieve full potential as a human being, with a profound reverence for life and a respect for the dignity and worth of every individual.
