The 2021-2026 Strategic Plan has been built to help us maintain focus on our vision and mission with every decision we make.

The  Goals are the "how" and Outcomes are the "what" in our Strategic Plan. The Goals and Outcomes are the roadmap to measuring the success of the district and the metrics used to ensure that the vision and mission of the district are met. The targets we set for 2026 were informed by several key partners - students, parents, classified and certificated staff, union leaders, administrators, members of the School Board of Education, local business owners, representatives of faith communities and local colleges, and community leaders.
