Our Academic and Career Planning program, or ACP, authentically engages students in developing their future identity by providing meaningful experiences and making learning connections to build confidence, gain focus, and develop the passion that informs their career pathway. Our objective is that students will develop their sense of internal motivation and a vision for their future so that each student graduates with a sense of purpose, capable of taking advantage of vast opportunities to reach his or her career aspirations.

We achieve our mission through the implementation of systems and processes that engage staff in improvement efforts. These efforts are grounded in data-informed analysis and research-based actions to attain and surpass measurable goals, aligned with desired outcomes. The district has established systems to help principals, school leadership teams, and district administrators establish and reaffirm a shared purpose for teaching and learning with an ultimate goal of continuous improvement.

We are responsible for the futures of all students, regardless of background, home situation, or family resources. We believe that every student can learn and achieve at high levels. Our commitment to success for every student is rooted in the ideals of both equity and excellence. Educators continue to work toward high achievement for all by striving to personalize teaching and learning so that each student has what he or she needs in order to succeed.

As students move through their 4K-12 academic careers, they strive for and reach a number of key milestones. We have identified seven milestones that benchmark our efforts in ensuring that all students will experience college and future career success. Our Milestones for College and Career Success include measurable outcomes that allow us to monitor student progress in preparing for postsecondary success. Our goal is that when students graduate from high school, they have the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in postsecondary education. Each milestone is rigorous, encouraging our students to develop higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills.
