Why is a strategic plan important to a school? 

A strategic plan is a document that establishes the goals of our school. The process of developing a plan helps all of us step back and examine where we are as a whole, where we want to go, and how to get there. In the absence of a plan, work may still get done on a day-to-day basis but often lacks a sense of purpose and priority. By having specific goals, we have a focus on our academic priorities. 

Our plan goals
