Focus Area 5. Education <br />GOAL 1: Provide Quality K -12 Educa lion <br />Backiround /Rationale <br />Orange County residents clearly expect the best in K -12 education. Orange County is home to <br />some of the most outstanding schools in the state, with two of our high schools among the top <br />100 public high schools in the country. The education system strives to prepare students to be <br />responsible citizens, and well- rounded, critical thinkers with marketable skills. <br />SOCF envisions schools as the center of multi -use community facilities in the future. This <br />approach would heighten parent and community involvement in the education of our children <br />and youth, utilize the buildings and grounds more fully, and help to provide important <br />community services more efficiently, from after school programs for younger children, to senior <br />care, to cultural arts programs in which high school students and community adults could often <br />participate together. <br />Orange County High School <br />LOW <br />
