Strategic Direction- 2014-2018
Award-winning North Clackamas Schools lead students toward graduation, empowering and inspiring them to strengthen the quality of life in our local and global communities. Our graduates are prepared for the demands of college, career, and life. As a student enters a vibrant neighborhood school, a magnet school, or charter program, their dreams are nurtured, their hi
story and heritage are celebrated, their love of learning is fostered, and their educational, physical, emotional, and social needs are supported. Unique in Oregon, the combination of programs in North Clackamas allows each student to have an experience distinctive to them. We are home to the largest professional-technical program in Oregon, high-demand bilingual schools, and Clackamas County’s only International Baccalaureate program. We continue to expand on more than 140 high school electives, 17 Right Brain Initiative Schools, numerous advanced college credit offerings, and magnet school options. Exciting and varied opportunities for students remain a priority of North Clackamas Schools and the community, all made possible through strategic partnerships, family support, and volunteers. In North Clackamas, parents and the community work in concert with the district in support of our students. Students can expect to be challenged to think deeply, solve problems, and enjoy learning in respectful and safe schools. Our commitment includes access to professional music, physical education, and counseling educators beginning in kindergarten and continuing through high school. Our students are critical and creative thinkers with a strong foundation in English language arts, math, science, social studies, and the arts. Innovative, exceptional, and caring staff actively engages each student and their families. Through a relevant and challenging curriculum, North Clackamas educators promote high expectations, cultural understanding, and productive study habits. Our staff is committed to growing professionally, embracing technology, and setting the pace for education in Oregon. North Clackamas is nationally recognized for outstanding programs supported by the efficient utilization of resources. The North Clackamas community expects, and school leaders ensure, accountable and transparent investments that place funding as close to the student as possible. Students are at the heart of North Clackamas Schools as we grow artists, scientists, teachers, athletes, and community leaders. Each student has the opportunity to follow their own path and discover new possibilities on the journey to graduation, college, and career. Goals and Objectives:
Student Achievement – Each student will meet/exceed grade level standards and graduate. Equity – Create inclusive learning environments for each student. Resources and Quality Programs – Improve financial stability, leverage assets, and expand efficiencies throughout the system.
