Mission Statement:

The Benton Harbor Area Schools will assure all students the opportunity to gain a challenging and quality education.

Vision Statement:

The Benton Harbor Area Schools will do whatever is necessary, unconstrained by convention and fueled by innovation, to guarantee our students an education as worthy as any in the nation. We will recognize and instill in our students a strong and abiding sense of their value as individuals and an understanding of their roles as citizens. We will be dedicated to creating and nurturing in those students and the community we serve an appreciation for the value of education. We will be a system that treats everyone -- students, teachers, employees, administrators, parents and the community -- with equal respect, in an atmosphere of mutual trust. Above all, the Benton Harbor Area Schools will take the lead and become a major force in revitalizing and strengthening the community it serves.
