• If we foster and grow an asset-based mindset that is the foundation of our culture and decision-making ;

• If we set high expectations for ourselves and our students, and ensure that every student and educator receives the feedback and support to achieve success at the highest levels;

• If we build and sustain authentic partnerships, grounded in mutual trust and shared accountability, that help us identify and achieve the best outcomes, including with our students in the classroom and in the diverse communities we serve across our family of schools; and

• If we create the conditions for our students and educators to engage in rigorous learning opportunities that equip them to be successful in college career and life

then, we will break historical patterns of inequity so that every single one of our students thrive – not by accident but by design.
