Community
We believe in our collective responsibility to work together in a cooperative effort to achieve common goals by building communities of practice, establishing a high-quality learning community, and listening to the community.
-
Respect
We believe in treating all individuals with honor and dignity.
Student-Centered Goal

Five Objectives

Strategic Priorities
The Division’s Strategic Priorities provide the target toward which our collective effort and resources should be aimed in order to realize our goal. Strategic priorities are analyzed and revised every biennium in order to make any necessary adjustments to the work that is being done in the division to meet our objectives and our goal. The adopted strategic priorities for 2017-2019 are as follows:
- Create a culture of high expectations for all.
- Identify and remove practices that perpetuate the achievement gap.
