LBJHS Mission Statement

All students at Los Banos Junior High are provided with a safe, fun, rigorous yet accessible learning environment in which teachers encourage students to perform at their highest potential.   We, as a staff, strive to improve the quality of instruction through consistently expecting the use of academic language in all subjects, increasing the rigor of instruction by teaching and learning at higher Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels, and enhancing student learning through effective use of technology.   We, as Los Banos Junior High’s community of teachers and learners, focus on establishing a clear expectation of acceptable student behavior and interactions and will continue to maintain a positive school culture by abiding and emphasizing the Tiger Be’s: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe.  

As a community of learners, the Los Banos Junior High School works together in a nurturing environment to help students be visionary, versatile thinkers; resourceful, life-long learners; effective, multi-lingual communicators and global citizens. We are a richly diverse community of learners that values the contributions of all its members. Our aim is to prepare all students in their pursuit of academic achievement and personal health and to support and encourage them in their development of intellectual, artistic, technological, physical and social expression. We welcome parent and community members, as partners in the educational process.
