Introduction
The district embarked into a new strategic plan cycle beginning this past February. Five separate planning meetings were held with twenty-five individuals representing the school, parents and general community. The following is an outline of our new mission, vision, goal areas and strategies. We look forward to using this plan as a road map to continuous improvement!
Our History
For over 120 years Harbor Spring Public Schools has been providing excellent educational services and programs for students and families for the greater area of Harbor Springs. From its inception, education at Harbor Springs Public Schools has been shaped by these strong core values and beliefs:
- Each child is unique and must be treated with dignity.
- Parent involvement is valued and expected.
- Educators inspire a quest for learning.
- Students are engaged in rigorous curricula.
Today Harbor Springs Public Schools continues to maintain its reputation as one of the highest respected school districts in northern Michigan. Maintaining and building on that reputation requires careful planning and forward thinking. Included in this document is our Strategic Plan for the 2006–2009 school years. This document reviews our new Mission, Vision and Values statements and captures the reality that our graduates must be culturally competent and technologically savvy. This Strategic Plan requires the best efforts of all stakeholders to fulfill its promise for our students.
We invite you to be a part of our future.
