WHEREAS, effective leaders recognize that excellence in education is essential for the success of our Nation, our State, and our local communities; and

WHEREAS, in the Great State of Alaska, we strive to better our citizens and provide each child and adolescent with a high-quality education; and

WHEREAS, through well-rounded lessons in literacy, math, science, history, and civics, we can develop a child's intellect and prepare them for future opportunities; and

WHEREAS, we strengthen the character of our youth by encouraging personal responsibility, community involvement, and service directed toward purposes greater than themselves; and

WHEREAS, by instilling a spirit of service in our children and youth, we create a brighter future for them and for Alaska; and
