Mission Statement:

The Canastota Central School District believes all students are unique, can learn, and will rise to the level of expectations set for them. We will provide a positive, caring, and nurturing environment that encourages students to strive for excellence. We will foster the development of each student's positive self-image regarding his/her individual abilities and values as a human being. We are committed to educating individuals to become responsible, tolerant, and productive members of a changing society. The responsibility for this mission is jointly shared by the Board of Education, the school staff, parents, students, and the community.
