FORGE 2026 | Day One: Purpose ⚒️
Today marked the beginning of FORGE 2026: Forged through Purpose. Strengthened by Growth.
Day One centered on purpose — looking closely at where we are, where we are headed and how our work connects to student success across the district.
Leaders began the day with a review of the district’s 5-Year Strategic Plan and a Big Picture Data Review, using student achievement and operational data to guide meaningful conversations about the year ahead. This is the work that happens before students return.
FORGE is more than a workshop. It is the foundation for the year we are building together.
