Vision the next five years

Whitko five years from now will be a school system that everyone looks to for leadership. Our facilities will continue to be first class with all the resources needed to provide a differentiated and individualized curriculum. Virtual education activities will abound. Our special programs for high ability and special needs students will compete with our engaging curriculum in other classes.

The elementary programs will be able to focus on higher learning skills as RtI has created a situation where students just are not allowed to fall behind and when students do they are immediately identified and remediated.

Our middle school program continues to involve great exploration possibilities that encorporate the standards into an activity and challenge based learning program. Students leaving middle school have a good idea what they might like to work on at Whitko High School.

Our high school provides individualzed programs for students that include increased vocational education, increased dual credit and Advanced Placement Offerings, and virtual education in subjects that are not even thought of today. The 21st century skills ans STEM education is interwoven into the fabric of the educational program. The school is so engaging that every student is involved in some co or extra curricular activity.

Whitko schools are once again the center of civic activities. Our schools are always being used by the public for various events. Events put on by the schoolsa re always packed with parents. Parents are also feeling so welcome at the schools they often drop by to see what they can do to assist us.

Over the last five years Whitko has been able to secure financial support that creates an environment of stability and growth not often shared in rural school corporations. Part of this comes from charging outside groups to see how we took a good school corporation to greatness. We often speek at conference and provide staff development for other schools.

So here is part of my Vision Whitko, What's Your Take?

  1. Wow! I agree totally. This sounds like a good summary of what we shared at our administrative retreat.
