The three mission statements reflect the attitudes and vision of all district employees. The Metropolitan Education District mission encompasses both of our programs: adult education, Metropolitan Adult Education Program (MAEP); and the high school program, Central County Occupational Program (CCOC).

This program is targeted to high school students with “space-available”, only for adult students. The adult education program, Metropolitan Adult Education Program (MAEP) reflects the nurturing and caring attitude of teachers and staff in the adult program. The MAEP staff is also dedicated to assuring that students persevere in order to reach their highest potential in becoming well-educated, life-long learners and community members.
