Welcome to Fox Lane High School!
The Fox Lane High School Mission and Philosophy
Fox Lane High School strives to be a community of learners whose primary goals are full human development and adaptability to change. We seek to foster these traits in a humane and caring climate in which diversity is respected. We are committed to nurturing responsibility, respect for individual rights, and active participation in community life as the necessary basis for a democratic society. In this endeavor, we encourage all members of the Fox Lane community to make choices, to share in decision-making, and to accept consequences. We are determined to create a school where individuals feel both a sense of identity and community in an environment of trust, confidence, justice, and open, honest communication. Fox Lane is committed to helping students to use their minds well: to think critically, creatively, and independently. A liberal arts and sciences core serves as the basis of the curriculum. It is necessary for students to accomplish purposeful work which is relevant to their lives and the challenges which confront them. Teachers will encourage their students to develop both an appreciation for the individual disciplines and for the interconnected, interdisciplinary nature of knowledge and of the world. Students must continue to recognize, understand and appreciate our global community. Awareness of modern technological advances, environmental concerns, and cultural diversity are integral to the academic process.
