Board of Education Overview

We recognize that a public school district must set the standard for community involvement, and it must prepare our children to live and work in an ever-changing global society.  We believe that we do our best work when we draw upon the wealth of talent within our District 7 community of learners.

We expect high quality, experiential academics, performing arts, and athletic programs to exist throughout the school district.  We expect that our students will be offered numerous quality programs that provide them with opportunities to learn and grow through the exploration and application of ideas.

We remain committed to hiring and developing quality educators and staff who embrace ongoing professional development that inspires them to attain deeper and enhanced knowledge of the content they are expected to teach to our students.  And as a result of this commitment, our students will be offered a rich K-12 school environment that is the norm rather than the exception.

We are fortunate to have educators who are dedicated to the ideal of student-centered education.  This is reflected in their own pursuit of excellence, their embrace of innovation, and the regard in which they are held by their colleagues throughout the region and the state.
