The mission of the Southwest School Corporation of Sullivan County is to provide an appropriate educational program and learning environment which will effectively meet the educational needs of its students and citizens and help its students accomplish educational goals which are:

• Significant

• Durable

• Transferable

The staff of Sullivan High School is dedicated to the philosophy that all students possess individual needs, interests, and abilities which must be met with student-oriented instruction. In the application of this philosophy, the staff of Sullivan High School, in partnership with the school community, takes an active role in preparing students for a future which is full of societal changes and technological advances. Our students will be successful and contributing citizens only if they possess knowledge grounded in practical applications, critical thinking skills, and an appreciation for the aesthetics. We are aware of the constant need for a dynamic educational program, one which has provisions for continuing development and increased community involvement.
