A Mattoon High School graduate will be LIFE READY by possessing the necessary life skills, social emotional intelligence, and character that empower them to approach their future with confidence, to dream big and achieve big.

As we have learned, the world that we live in and the future our students will live in are rapidly evolving. It is with our students' future in our sights that we also work at evolving so we are meeting our shared vision of “Life Ready” graduates.
