We believe that our students truly succeed when we have strong community partnerships in a variety of forms. We are thankful for the deep investment of our community — internships, apprenticeships, donors, volunteer hours — and look to give back and instill a sense of service and pride in our neighborhoods.

We will accomplish this priority by:

1. Conveying the value of public education to our community

• In Progress: Market research underway; communications plan to be complete in January 2026

2. Fostering participation in engagement opportunities (PTAC, Committees)

• In Progress: Analyzing focus group content and determining next steps

3. Engaging students in community activities

• In Progress: Continuing to make intentional efforts to strengthen our community connections; Gathering input from leadership on new and ongoing engagement ideas

We will measure success through:

• Public perception survey
• Enrollment data
• Culture of Excellence and Ethics survey
