Vision:

The St. James R-I School District is a cooperative partnership of students, parents, staff, and community working together, building on strengths and creating an environment where accountability for a quality education exists at all levels.

All students will begin and continue their journey as lifelong learners who seek and achieve success in an academically challenging, comprehensive educational program.

All students will be challenged and empowered to be able to problem solve, make decisions, plan, organize, communicate effectively, and complete a task.

All students will increase understanding, tolerance and acceptance of people from varied cultural, economic, and racial backgrounds.
