It is the mission of Yates Center Public Schools to provide every student with the educational opportunities necessary to live, learn and work in the 21st century. We will provide equitable opportunities for all students to develop the skills necessary to communicate effectively in speaking or writing, to think creatively , solve problems, and to become technologically literate. We will provide opportunities for students to work individually and with their peers.

Our mission is to also see that a safe and orderly environment is available, for all students, to progress emotionally and physically, and to increase their self-esteem.

The faculty, staff, administration, and community will work to make quality learning an attainable goal and to make lifelong learning an important part of each student's life.
