School Council Mission Statement

Our mission as the School Council is to responsibly assess all factors affecting the educational needs of the children in Cohasset Middle School.  Based upon this assessment, the Cohasset Middle School Council will review and develop goals annually that address our educational policies that maximize students’ academic performance, encourage the talents and creativity of educators, and provide consistency throughout the Cohasset School System.  In addition, the School Council assists the principal in the following:

  2. Identifying the education, social, and emotional needs of the students;
  3. Adopting educational goals for the school;
  4. Promoting an awareness of state and local initiatives
  5. Developing and formulating a school improvement plan for Cohasset Middle School.
