Our Mission

Upshur Human Resources, Inc. of Upshur County exists to serve eligible children and their families in an appropriate Head Start program. This is what we do. As such, all energies, resources, and funding are a means to that end. As a board, we are dedicated to a minimum of administration and maximum benefit to those families and will accept no less from the staff.

 

We realize that there must be a quality staff that meets standards and believes in our mission as we do. We also realize that working conditions must be good to retain that staff and minimize problems. Within our power to do so, and the limitations inherent in our mission, it is our mission, it is our intention to make working conditions pleasant for the staff without jeopardizing service to the children.
