Mission:

To provide high-quality education that ensures that young men and women are ready for lifelong success, no matter which door they take first: college, work, or career.

 

Vision:

We want high schools in which:

  • Every student has an adult advocate who acts as a mentor and advisor to recognize and foster the growth of the individual's own talents and aspirations.
  • All students would be authentically engaged by implementing thematic, integrated, and collaborative strategies through Standards-Based Instruction.
  • Student mastery would be monitored by multiple forms of assessment as created to support the varied learning styles of individual students.
  • Scheduling would be flexible to meet the needs of all stakeholders in order to support the purposes and goals of the Smaller Learning Communities within schools, ensuring mastery learning for all students.
  • The community is a rich resource, providing relevant experiences for students to become engaged in quality, educational opportunities emphasizing mastery of academic content through project-based learning, inquiry-based teaching methods, and workforce skills.

Beliefs:

  • All students are able to achieve at their highest potential.
  • All schools should have access to equitable resources.
  • All operations of the school system should demonstrate best business practices while supporting student achievement.
  • All stakeholders should work together to build a better school system.
