Vision of the Graduate

Over the course of the last year and a half, our leadership team has been working to develop a Vision of the Graduate, a document that identifies the skills and qualities that the school community values and hopes to instill in our students. Last spring, I shared a draft of the document with staff, students, and families for feedback. This fall, the leadership team has worked to incorporate that feedback and develop a final version for publication.

Moving forward, we will be working with our staff and faculty to fully describe and define each element of the Vision of the Graduate as well as identify how we will use the document to guide our decision-making. The Vision of the Graduate is included below. We will continue to provide more information about how this document will help to guide our ongoing improvement efforts.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the development of the Vision of the Graduate and to those who provided thoughtful feedback.

Have a wonderful weekend!
