Our Mission

The Tiogue educational community is dedicated to striving for excellence in all of our students.  It is the challenge of our school to ensure success in a nurturing, child-centered environment; to set high academic standards; and to develop a sense of responsibility toward our community.  Tiogue School places an emphasis on cooperation, respect for diversity, self-worth and academic distinction in an educational setting that meets the challenges of the future.

 

U.S. Blue Ribbon School

In May of 1999, Tiogue School was recognized as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the United States Department of Education.  Senator Jack Reed noted, "It is a highly regarded distinction to be named a Blue Ribbon School.  Through an intensive selection process beginning at the state level and continuing through a federal review panel of 100 top educators, 266 of the very best public and private schools in the nation were identified as deserving of this special recognition."

Tiogue School seeks to reach out to every student and to engage parents, businesses and community leaders in the education of our children.  Teachers work in teams to develop appropriate but rigorous standards for all students.  Senator Reed stated we were "a school committed to a process of continuous improvement with a focus on high student achievement.  Most importantly, Tiogue recognizes the value of the larger community and seeks its support and involvement.."

We are proud to have this honor bestowed on us.  We hope that Tiogue School will continue to be a shining example of excellence in education for years to come.
