    MISSION: Through an exploratory study of world languages, students will gain a foundation for language learning in order to become familiar with a variety of cultures, thus improving their global awareness and appreciation of diversity. Upon pursuit of an academic or employment track, these building blocks provide the support for a strong future in a global society.
