11 Commitments

We expect that all district leaders use these 11 Commitments to develop a collective culture of Excellence on Purpose and to guide our work each day. These commitments will keep us soaring on the path to success.

ALWAYS START WITH WHY
Please continue to reflect on why you are an educator. We know what we do, but why we do it is so much more important.
2 HAVE GOOD MANNERS
We are all ambassadors for this district, we must make a good impression and be aware of other mindsets when working in our community.

Take pride in your accomplishments and learn from your failures.

Be reminded of your physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual needs. Take time for your personal life to be a balanced and successful leader.
8 ARE LEADERS AND ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY AND SACRIFICE — ENSURING EQUITY FOR ALL!
Being a leader is not about the power, leadership is about creating change, improvement, and making the sacrifices needed to get the job done.

Prioritize your time to make your goals a reality. Know the best way to get the result you are looking for.
