Citrus Elementary, established in 1967, successfully participated in the pilot program of the Indian River County School District to develop a School Improvement Team. We began by developing a vision and mission statement with input from parents, students and business leaders in our community. That vision is: "Guiding today's children to become tomorrow's leaders." Our vision of the future leaves behind19th century methodology and offers a challenging, individualized, educational setting in which students will have the opportunity to participate in non-traditional, creative programs.
