Vision:

If your school is extremely successful over the next three- five years, how will people describe your school? Think about the answer as you begin to develop the vision. Here are some samples:

Our vision is to create one of the state’s most effective schools helping secondary student who have not succeeded in traditional schools, prepare for, and be accepted into, post-secondary education

Our vision is to create an extremely effective k-8 rural school that not only produces very high levels of student achievement, but also helps train the next generation of rural teachers.

Our vision is to create a k-12 school that is highly regarded for its academic excellence, and for its contribution in actively serving and improving the community in which it operates.
