4. Dakota Ridge High School
(DRHS) Vision Statement:
Dakota Ridge High School
continually strives for a school
based upon an exceptional
community that promotes
extraordinary learning,
expanded opportunities, and
above all, success for all
students.

5. DRHS Mission Statement:
Dakota Ridge High School aspires to help all members of its community
develop a balance between and synergy from four basic human needs:
the need to live, the need to love, the need to learn and the need to
leave a legacy. Therefore, we consciously commit ourselves to
demonstrating:
The physical need "To Live" in an environment that is clean, safe
and business-like; a vibrant place which inspires a healthy attitude in its
community of learners.
The social need "To Love" self and others with respect, high
expectations, trust and decency; to belong to and work as a
responsible member of the community.
The mental need "To Learn" by continuously seeking and accepting
challenging opportunities that expand our abilities and motivate
others to make full use of their abilities.
The spiritual need "To Leave a Legacy" by establishing a sense of
meaning and purpose to our existence through contributions to our
community and to the lives of others.

6. Needs Assessment
Data sources (who, what)
Survey the participants, staff, and community
members that were involved this year
 An email was sent out to all participants asking
for feedback and suggestions for next year. (A
form was not used due to wanting creative new
ideas.)
Compare differences from 2010 to 2011
(2010 was run by a fellow teacher and was opened to one class only. It
was basically a trial year to see what RFL was all about. In 2011, I took
over, was passionate about this cause and talked it up as much as
possible. I also planned a school-wide karaoke contest for staff to help
raise money.)
