Strategic Vision
The District’s vision focuses on specific goals and areas of achievement. These strategies allow students to grow and explore as they master state standards across the curriculum.
The five strategies are:

(1) establishing and faithfully delivering a guaranteed and viable curriculum to all students that fully aligns with essential standards and future success;

(2) assuring that each student masters each essential standard through highly effective instruction;

(3) having teachers work together in Professional Learning Communities to monitor student progress and adjust instruction to guarantee student achievement;

(4) focusing relentlessly on student achievement as the measure of the effectiveness of instruction and leadership; and

(5) providing highly effective leadership in each school and throughout the district that supports and focuses on the first four strategies.
