Connected. Talented. Thriving.

In September 2023, the Clarke County Board of Education approved CCSD’s five-year Strategic Plan for 2024-2029. The plan reflects our community’s aspirations for our students and is focused on three priorities: Connected Culture, Optimized Talent, Thriving Students.

Mission: We create educational journeys that empower all students to fulfill their potential. 

Vision: To be a high-performing school district that ensures all students can access opportunities and positively contribute to their communities.

We believe:

• All students can learn and achieve academic success.

• Students deserve learning experiences that are engaging, relevant, and challenging.

• We are all accountable for the success of each student we serve and we all have a stake in their success.

• The success of each student is critical to the success of our entire community.

• We are responsible for collaboratively supporting student growth and development.

• We are responsible for understanding the needs of our students and their families.

• Learning occurs best in cultures where staff and students feel a sense of belonging, safety and support.

• We must embrace new ideas, techniques, and technologies to be responsive to the evolving needs of our learners and the rapidly changing world.

• Students and staff deserve an environment where enthusiasm for learning is encouraged and modeled.

The Strategic Plan includes the initial plan, 45 performance measures with incremental targets over the 5-year plan, and our yearly action plans. These targets can be reviewed on our Strategic Plan Updates site.

Quarterly updates and a written annual progress reports on the Strategic Plan are provided to the Board of Education.
