8. Vision, Mission and Values
A community where every child succeeds
Mission
To create pathways to bright futures for all students in our community, by helping to equip them with the skills, knowledge and supports required to realize their full potential.
WE DO THIS BY:
Providing rich learning experiences for all students
Focusing on the whole child – both academic and social-emotional learning
Cultivating the 5 C’s: confidence, creativity, critical-thinking, collaboration and communication
Engaging our community to ensure that our schools are the best places to teach and learn.

9. Strategic Focus Areas Great Teachers, Great Leaders
A highly effective, supported teacher in every classroom and a strong leader in every building.
Engage Every Child. Every Day. Students who are motivated and interested in learning are more successful and confident and experience higher achievement. Fostering curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning are key to the hope, well-being and achievement of our students.
Strong Foundations: Literacy and Math Critical to a student’s success both in school and beyond, literacy is more than reading and spans all subject areas and skills. Math is also a critical skill and tied to many of the growing job opportunities in our community.
Building Our Values: Culture, Climate and Communication Strong, supportive school climate and culture are essential to the success of our students and schools. Improve internal and external communications and increase public confidence in our school system.
Future Ready: Prepare All Students for College and Career
Creating pathways and opportunities for students as they prepare for post-secondary education and careers.
Closing the Opportunity Gap Intentional and focused support on our most at-risk students and schools reflects our commitment to equity and success for all students.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Capital Maintenance & Repairs fund budget of $3,000,000 covers repairs and minor renovations to buildings. Selections and funding of new schools, and major renovations or improvements, are determined by County Government and are not included in HCDE’s budget. Currently HCDE schools have a $250,000,000 deferred maintenance project listing. This is partially due to aging infrastructure, with an average building age of over 40 years. Our priority for funding is always students and academics- the best investment for our schools.
