The primary goal of Reading Memorial High School is the preparation of students to be literate, skilled, creative, healthy, competent, and informed citizens. We strive to graduate individuals who are appreciative of the arts, capable of critical thinking and problem-solving, and fully equipped to function intellectually, emotionally, and physically within a complex, interdependent, and pluralistic world.

As educators, we believe our work centers on the pursuit of knowledge and the cultivation of total well-being. We help our students enhance their ability to think deeply by teaching the symbols and concepts through which thought and creativity take place.

At RMHS, our actions, decisions, and community expectations are guided by four foundational pillars:

• RESPECT: Honoring the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and inherent worth of every individual within our community.
• RESPONSIBILITY: Taking ownership of our actions, academic choices, and collective role in maintaining a supportive school environment.
• PERSEVERANCE: Embracing challenges with resilience and maintaining determination in the face of obstacles.
• SCHOLARSHIP: Committing to academic integrity, intellectual curiosity, and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge.
