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

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

• In Progress: Developing focus group structure and soliciting volunteers

3. Engaging students in community activities

• In Progress: Schools have developed and increased community involvement

We will measure success through:

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