Mission & Vision

Our Mission is to empower ALL STUDENTS for the choices and challenges of the 21st Century.

We accept the responsibility of providing a quality education to ensure that each student regardless of gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic or physically challenged status, has the opportunity to develop their abilities to the highest level.

We embrace the goals set forth in the Kentucky Education Reform Act: expecting high achievement from all students; commitment from the community, parents, faculty, staff and administrators placing emphasis on the relating education of real life experiences resulting in smooth transition into adulthood; and providing a risk free, caring, safe environment.

Employment

In the Harlan County Public School District we have 9 schools, over 3000 students and a wealth of invaluable employees. We are committed to hiring diverse candidates who bring high quality skills and knowledge. To be successful, we must employ individuals who have a growth mind set and are seeking opportunities to collaborate with colleagues and the community to create an exceptional learning experience for our children.

If you share this vision, we would love to hear from you and have you join the HCPSD family! Please visit our Employment page to learn more.

If students, parents or community members know of an unsafe situation in school (bullying, weapons, drugs or alcohol, etc.), they can anonymously pass on that information to school personnel by clicking either the link above or logo to the right.
