Vision We strive to be the standard for excellence in education in North Carolina. Mission All students will graduate with the skills, knowledge, character and education to become proud and successful citizens of the United States of America. 2
Core Beliefs We believe successful schools are essential for thriving communities, and that: Every student can learn and succeed; Education, employment, and enlistment are equally honorable pursuits for the future lives of our students; Our schools provide a safe, respectful, orderly, and caring environment conducive to learning; We engage our parents and community in the education of our students; and Our educators are empowered to meet the learning needs of all students. 3
Strategic Plan The strategic plan contains seven goals: 1. Increase the number of schools meeting or exceeding growth from 14 to 23. 2. Increase overall composite Grade Level Proficiency by 10 percentage points (from 56.6% to 66.6%) 3. Increase the context ranking for composite Grade Level Proficiency from 23rd place to at least in the top 5% in the state (out of 115 LEAs). 4. Increase the number of 10th grade students reading at or above grade level, as measured by the End of Course Lexile reading level, by 10 percentage points (from 81% to 91%). 5.
