Refocus Center Mission

The mission of Etowah County Refocus Center is to develop in the students lasting qualities of responsible citizenship: self-esteem, self-discipline, trust, lifelong learning, and respect for others. This is accomplished by teaching conflict resolution skills, by requiring a high academic purpose, and by strengthening relationships among parents, children, and the community. In addition, technology is integrated into the core curriculum in support of this mission.
