Mission and Vision

The Raul Yzaguirre Schools for Success (RYSS) mission, vision and values statements reflect the belief that our schools should go beyond the traditional model.  RYSS must, instead, be a place that focuses, not only excellent academics, but also on meeting the needs of the whole student, the family, and the community.   It is our belief that through an integrated focus on academics, health and social services, and community engagement, RYSS will have a long-lasting impact on our surrounding community and the community-at-large.

 

RYSS MISSION

We the faculty, staff, family, and community of Raul Yzaguirre Schools for Success, have committed ourselves to providing and obtaining the highest standard of education in a culturally relevant setting.

The pursuit of excellence is aimed at developing self-respect and pride among our students. Our ultimate goal is for them to become critical thinkers and lifelong learners.

RYSS VISION

RYSS will be the gold standard for excellence in community-based education by graduating college-bound, civic-oriented leaders.
