A New Way Forward
To deliver a world-class education, we must put students' needs above all else. Our district's Strategic Plan identifies specific actions and activities in these five areas:

Student success is our primary purpose, achieved by delivering high-quality instruction and exceptional services that support the whole child.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are the cornerstones of everything we do.
