School Mission
The mission of Rancho Mirage High School is to provide a high-quality,
comprehensive, and meaningful education for all students. Each student will be
expected to succeed within the bounds of their abilities and chosen educational and
career goals. Each student will be treated as an individual, given the tools to be a
lifelong learner, and taught to function as a member of a group and as a productive
and meaningful member of society. Students will be expected to display personal
and social responsibility. In order to achieve these qualities, students will develop
strong communication, critical thinking and interpersonal skills. Students will be
expected to treat all members of the student body and staff with respect, dignity,
and sensitivity. They will also be expected to practice integrity in all endeavors.

women on the cusp of adulthood, I take seriously the responsibility imparted upon
