Sevier School District's Computer Science Vision and Mission:

Our vision is to help all teachers and students understand that computer science helps to develop problem solving skills and helps to expand critical thinking skills. 

Our mission is to ensure that ALL students from kindergarten through twelfth grade have the opportunity to learn the concepts of computer science.
