Strategic Vision and Plan
Vision 2040: Reimagining Our Future Together
Our graduates are confident, compassionate, adaptable adults who are well-prepared for life and become inspiring advocates for themselves and their community.What is a Vision? Our Vision describes our community’s long-term aspirations for our students, adults, and school system.
Our Vision includes:
A Graduate Portrait that envisions the outcomes for students–the community’s aspirations for what graduates need to know, be, and be able to do in order to thrive in their lives and careers.
An Adult Portrait that articulates the qualities that will help every adult working in our school district support each student’s journey toward realizing the Graduate Portrait.
A System Portrait that describes the changes needed in the school district to create the conditions that will support adults in attaining the Adult Portrait and students in realizing the Graduate Portrait. The System Portrait provides the basis of the Strategic Plan.
A statement of our Core Values, which are the enduring beliefs that guide our District’s actions in realizing the Vision and how we behave and treat each other.
To support this Vision, a plan was created. Transforming Our Future Together is our 2024–2029 strategic plan and is the first in a series of multi-year plans outlining the important steps we will take toward realizing Vision 2040. The Plan has 15 strategies that will be implemented over the next five years as we work to achieve our 15-year Vision.
