The Vision

Our vision at Frontier Junior High is to create a school community where junior high school students discover their unique potential, develop self-worth, dignity and responsibility. It is a place where students learn to think critically and creatively, become lifelong learners, show concern for others, and seek to achieve their personal best.

Dignity

At Frontier Junior High, dignity means no one has the right to interfere with the learning, safety or well-being of others. This means we expect you to respect the dignity of each person. The dictionary defines dignity as "worth, merit, self-respect." At Frontier, we believe in the dignity of each student, parent and staff member. Respecting human dignity at Frontier means that each person who is part of our school has the right to come to school each day and be treated with respect by everyone around them. Students and adults at Frontier have the right to be free from harassment in any form. We will not tolerate harassment in any form - whether racial, sexual, or even just old-fashioned picking on people. Make respecting the dignity of others a consistent habit during your time at Frontier.
