TRANSCRIPT
Newbury Park HS WELCOME CLASS OF 2019
Mission Statement Nobility
◦ We expect Panthers to challenge themselves and each other to show the world their best character traits. On the field, in the classroom, in the world, we expect students to learn about and value diverse opinions, values, and cultures; and to demonstrate their respect for themselves and others.
Poten@al ◦ We expect Panthers to understand that every difficulty presents both risk and opportunity. Panthers are expected to access and
evaluate resources as needed, develop the capability to rise to challenges, and the resiliency to recover from failure. Humanity
◦ We expect Panthers to contribute and interact responsibly in the community and in the world. We expect students to be kind to and respecCul of others from all walks of life, to cooperate with adults and peers, to assist others in need, and to recognize that two people with differing opinions can both be right.
Scholarship ◦ We expect Panthers to learn the skills and core knowledge they need to be successful in life: how to think induc@vely, deduc@vely,
and reflec@vely; how to communicate; how to gather, analyze, and evaluate informa@on and media; and how to rely on their academic skills, common sense, and crea@vity to solve problems.
