Mission Statement

Thompson Public Schools – PK to 12 Music Department Mission Statement

Portrait of a Graduate: Independent, Knowledgeable, and Community-Connected

We will maintain high expectations, maintain necessary supports, and engage with the community to ensure each student is equipped to experience growth and joy in their journey as a musician. 

Mission Overview:

Our mission is to cultivate musical intelligence and creative expression through rigorous, experiential learning that deepens understanding of music as both an art and a discipline. We engage students in creating, performing, responding, and connecting to nurture curiosity, mastery, active listening, and critical thinking. Through this process, learners develop a strong sense of identity, agency, and belonging; empowered to see themselves as musicians who think deeply, create purposefully, and connect meaningfully with the world around them.
