We're excited to share that our new five-year Strategic Plan is officially here after multiple voices worked together to create it!
A True Community Effort
This plan didn't come from one person or top-down initiative. In fact, it came from our families, staff, and community members. Twenty-five stakeholders from across our district and community worked together through planning sessions and public vetting sessions to set our direction for the next five years. Your input, your ideas, and your vision for our students' future are woven throughout this plan.
What It Means: Our New Direction
Together, we've defined who we are and where we're going:
Our Mission (our WHY): Unlock Potential. Unite Community. Shape Tomorrow. This is the heartbeat of everything we do from supporting all students, staff members, and families within the allocation of resources, every lesson taught, and each decision made.
Our Vision: Empower. Contribute. Thrive. This is what success looks like for every student, staff member, and family in CCSD1.
Our Values: Bearcat GRIT
- Gratitude – Seek, acknowledge, and highlight the good
- Respect – Treat everyone with dignity
- Integrity – Be honest, consistent, and accountable
- Tenacity – Adapt, overcome, and persevere with purpose
Three Clear Goals
Every strategy in our plan connects to making these goals real:
- Empower all to continuously improve – Supporting targeted learning and growth for students and staff
- Contribute to a culture of community – Building strong connections through collaboration and communication
- Thrive in an effective and efficient organization – Creating systems that work, promoting well-being, and ensuring safety
