Our #IHPromise
We arrive back to campus this school year in year four of our always evolving #IHPromise strategic plan, to continue to help us focus on how to develop Learners as Doers, Learners as Individuals, and Learners as the Whole Child. Over the past three years, we've streamlined our initiatives and last year put laser focus into three high-yield approaches: Leadership; Building Thinking Classrooms, and Project Based Learning. To learn more about how we do business, you can visit the #IHPromise Strategic Plan link on our district website.
