By Community, For Community
The school’s strategic plan, finalized in August, 2025, was guided in its creation by working groups of school leaders, with input from members across the school community. It was informed by the previous strategic plan, a one-year bridge set of strategic initiatives, a peer review, and by interviews and engagement with members of the school.
To ensure enactment of the plan, fall 2025 is serving as an implementation planning phase. Through a combination of community input and assembly of implementation groups, the school will ensure that the plan is successful.
