The basic mission of the Lower Cape May Regional School District is governed by a respect for the worth and dignity of every human being. The schools are committed to the academic, mental, emotional, physical, aesthetic and social development of all learners so they may realize the full measure of their educational potential and fulfill their roles purposefully in the world of work and leisure, and be prepared to lead challenging and productive lives.
The Board's function is to provide a positive school environment with sound,
challenging, innovative educational programs that foster life skill development,
investigate and celebrate change, but affirm tradition and promote excellence.
