Our Vision: Building Relationships

Building relationships between teachers and students, the community and our schools, is at the foundation of education. Having conversations is the only way that we begin to see true and genuine relationships form. Our mission is to grow and develop social and global awareness, moral responsibility, cultural proficiency, and an appreciation of differences among students and staff. Our fundamental keys to success are awareness, connection, and engagement. We are going to help provide a better understanding of the diverse cultures throughout the district, and bring students and teachers together through the understanding and acceptance of diversity. We truly believe that through stronger relationships and skills to develop them, we can also address a portion of the achievement gap in the Fort Zumwalt School District. The conversations can be uncomfortable and difficult, but necessary. It will be a journey we take together.
