The mission statement of a local (successful) high school is: Inspiring students to achieve extraordinary success.
The mission statement my high school has more than 6 times the number of words in it, sort of this: Our High School will foster an environment, with a focus on excellence and achievement, which promotes learning and holds the students, teachers, and community accountable for achievement. Our goal is graduation and we will attain that goal through a standards-based education system built on rigor, literacy, and relevance in our curriculum.
Which do you think the children will remember and take to heart?
How important are mission statements?

Not important at all. They are all done for PR. the first one is much better, of course--Short and to the point.
What I liked best about the first (since I haven't seen the point of them since they were introduced) is I heard it when a student said it to me. It was something THEY had internalized.
Our districts motto is "kids first...every student, every day."
no comment on it.
