Our beliefs, mission, and strategic anchors support a culture of accountability, explain our purpose for existence, and describe what our stakeholders should expect from us. Our Strategic Plan Leadership Team updated our District's Strategic Plan by refining our District’s beliefs and mission, setting our parameters, and identifying our strategic anchors and strategies for improvement.
Our District's culture is guided by the tenets of these foundational elements:
