Strategic Plan
2024 - 2030

Our Unconditional Promise

Empowering your voice, your dream, your future.

Our strategic plan was developed with students, teachers, staff, family and community members during the 2023-24 school year. More than 200 people contributed their voice through surveys, and we held 29 planning sessions (totaling more than 100 hours of meetings!) with more than 180 participants.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to our strategic planning process. We’re excited to turn our vision into reality with the support of the Bremerton community!

Our Theory of Action

If we, as a responsive, central office team, create relevant, well-defined, accessible systems and processes that are clearly communicated, efficient, and predictable…

...then principals will intentionally create a culture of authentic collaboration and predictable systems of support to ensure continuous improvement of instructional practices, then…

teachers can plan high quality lessons based on timely and targeted data to facilitate collaborative learning opportunities that are personalized, authentic and meaningful, so that…

students are empowered to use their voice to engage and collaborate in academic discourse to be future-ready in a changing world.
