OBJECTIVES OF S&I

Our purpose is to help youth and young adults understand and rely on the teachings and Atonement of Jesus Christ, qualify for the blessings of the temple, and prepare themselves, their families, and others for eternal life with their Father in Heaven.
To achieve our purpose:
We live the gospel of Jesus Christ and strive for the companionship of the Spirit. Our conduct and relationships are exemplary in the home, in the classroom, and in the community.We continually seek to improve our performance, knowledge, attitude, and character.

We teach students the doctrines and principles of the gospel as found in the scriptures and the words of the Prophets. These doctrines and principles are taught in a way that leads to understanding and edification. We help students fulfill their role in the learning process and prepare them to teach the gospel to others.

We adminsiter our programs and resources appropriately. Our efforts assist parents in their responsibility to stengthen their families. We work closely with priesthood leaders as we invite students to participate and as we provide a spirirtual environment where students can associate with one another and learn together.
