The El Modena High School Mission Statement:
We ensure all students' right to free and appropriate public education, as well as their right to learn in an environment where the potential and importance of every individual is recognized.

We teach students living in a technological society to access information, think critically, and make reasoned judgments.

We promote acceptance for all within a multicultural community, teach resiliency and adaptation in the face of change, and foster a sense of teamwork that promotes members working together to meet the needs of others

We strive to help students develop their respective skills and talents, build positive self esteem, and establish high expectations.
