In a democratic society, people cherish the rights, privileges, dignity, and
personal worth of the individual. The school has a significant role in
transmitting these values to children. The Fayetteville-Manlius Board of
Education and staff believe that children are the most important resource of our
community and must be helped to develop to their fullest educational potential.
The primary responsibility of the school is to promote mastery of academic and intellectual skills in order to prepare young people for higher education, meaningful life work, and a place as contributing members of society. Equally important, young people must learn to value, develop, and preserve their personal health as well as enrich the quality of their lives.
Students must learn to respect themselves and others, and to appreciate and value diversity among people. They must work and play alongside others who possess equal rights and aspirations for fulfillment in life. Students must be able to experience success and the pride of accomplishment. The human skills necessary to fulfill these goals should include knowledge of the decision-making process and an understanding of group dynamics.
Provisions must be made for all students. Education should match their abilities, stretch their minds, and challenge their talents. This educational experience must encourage creativity and logical thinking. Teachers and staff must help students maintain the excitement, curiosity, and love of learning which characterize the young child. Young people need to learn how to learn, to be continually stimulated and challenged to find answers to their questions and then to ask new ones.
Young people need to understand their heritage, both as unique human beings and as Americans. They need a sense of history, an understanding of our democratic government, our Constitution, and the free enterprise system.
The Board is committed to the overall growth and development of our students. Accordingly, it is dedicated to providing the finest educational program within the resources provided by the community.

YEAR

The Fayetteville-Manlius School District and the Fayetteville-Manlius Education Foundation are proud to present the inductees to the F-M Hall of Distinction. The F-M Hall of Distinction provides a wonderful opportunity to honor and celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of the graduates of the school district, and the daughters and sons of our community. It is our hope that such recognition will inspire current students to their own achievement, both in high school and beyond. This group of distinguished alumni represents an extraordinary range of personal and professional achievements. They have traveled from around the country to share with us their experiences in a wide variety of fields. As a school district which continually strives to instill in its students the concepts of achievement and excellence, the Hall of Distinction inductees serve as exceptional role models. Their personal accomplishments, either to their individual fields of endeavor or to the broader community, exemplify what our students may attain through initiative and commitment. We are pleased to honor these inductees, to celebrate their successes, and to have them reunited with the Fayetteville-Manlius School District.
