The mission of the Helix Charter School (HCS) is to encourage the success of all students by focusing on the student holistically. HCS's goals encompass the various aspects necessary to accomplish this, including critical thinking skills, arts education, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEAM) concepts. HCS believes that if a student is educated across these areas in addition to the core curriculum, they will be well rounded, life- long learners.

In this endeavor HCS will seek to maintain the tradition of small class sizes and staff/student rapport that provides for an optimal educational experience. The staff, parents, community, and various organizations will provide educational partnerships aiming toward student success.

The Helix Charter School Council includes two teachers, one support staff member, three community members, one junior or senior student selected by the Griswold High School ASB, an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors and an ex-officio District Superintendent.
