Curriculum, instruction, assessment, professional development and supervision systems align and respond to measurable goals for student problem solving through critical and creative thinking.

The instructional environment utilizes contemporary technology.

Communicate and engage with the entire community in the ongoing pursuit of our Mission.

All members of the community are able to articulate an understanding of the Mission.  Communications are responsive, appropriate for the audience, interactive and ongoing.

All decisions are driven by a focus, alignment and coherence with the Mission.

Align resource allocations with Mission, Beliefs, and Master Strategies.

Focus, alignment and coherence with the Mission drive all policies and fiscal decisions.  Human, material, and creative resources efficiently and effectively support the Mission and Beliefs.
