Richmond Heights Local

Vision • A community committed to student success through creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Mission • Learn, adapt, and excel in a changing world. Beliefs • The keys to improved academic performance are the professional practices of teachers and leaders,not the economic, racial, ethnic, or linguistic characteristics of our children. • All students can learn more than they are now learning and it is the responsibility of the school system to see that this happens. • To improve the performance of students in our schools, we must continuously improve teaching and leadership. • Improved processes must focus on the work of the student and the learning that results from the successful completion of that work. • The quality of the relationship between the student and teacher as well as the school and community is essential to the quality of learning for every student. • Improved results can only be achieved when we have a clear focus on the performance standards we will use to measure the results we want. • Improved results at the building level can only be sustained with District level support and data driven decisions.
