About Us

Our Vision

We envision a community of learners who function with consistency, work collaboratively, and promote a high level of achievement in a variety of academic pursuits and activities. 

Our Mission

Rowen exists to create a responsive school environment that inspires students to dream and motivates them to acquire basic skills and knowledge. We promote a student-centered curriculum that holds teachers, parents and students accountable for themselves and their community, while fostering the love and passion of life-long learning.

Our Values

We believe . . . 

  • Teachers must be dedicated life-long learners who address the learning styles of all students through rigorous, differentiated instruction focused on big ideas and enduring understandings.
  • Each student is unique and possesses the ability to achieve at high academic levels.
  • Everyone must share, cultivate, and search for the untapped potential that lies within each person by providing a learning environment that will support and foster enthusiasm for mastery of basic skills and critical thinking.
  • Teachers have a responsibility to guide each student in realizing self-worth and personal responsibility while emphasizing the importance of respecting diversity.
  • Teachers are responsible for preparing students for success in middle and high school, and ultimately to meet the increasing demands of a global society and workforce.
  • A positive and supportive school community is directly related to student success.
  • Education works best when students, families, school staff, educational entities, business and community leaders are meaningfully involved in educating students.
