Mission Statement
Okaloosa County teachers are committed to the teaching of social studies in accordance with the highest state and national standards. We endorse the position of the Florida Council for the Social Studies, which states "Florida's public schools have the responsibility for creating an informed and active citizenry. This goal requires our students to receive a firm foundation in each of the four major areas represented in the Sunshine State Standards for social studies-history, government/civics, economics, and geography." We further recognize that our students must learn about our nation's heritage and possess essential economic, civic, geographic, and historical knowledge to equip them for their future responsibilities as citizens of Florida and the United States of America.
