  4. In view of the importance of good citizenship to our democratic government and society, our schools shall develop programs to encourage the growth of good citizenship in every student.
  5. The schools of this system shall develop programs which promote proper attitudes and practices toward physical fitness, health, and care of the body.
  6. Schools shall strive not only to prepare students for further education but to equip them with vocational information and skills which will enable them to obtain employment upon graduation from high school.
  7. Schools shall provide opportunity for understand and appreciation of our cultural heritage, including such areas as art and music.
