Moran Prairie Vision & Mission
Our work group met multiple times throughout the year, solicited feedback and ideas from staff, students, and community members, and read through sample vision/missions from neighboring schools in our feeder pattern and SPS. We drafted a vision and mission with this information, took it to staff and some parents for additional feedback and revisions. It has been approved by staff through our contractual building decision-making process and has passed with 100% approval! Starting the 24-25 school year, we will have a new Vision and Mission for Moran Prairie.
Vision:
At Moran Prairie we are building a vibrant community of lifelong learners, driven by a love of discovery and a sense of belonging. By nurturing dynamic thinkers and problem solvers, celebrating diversity, and developing strong character traits, all students can become active participants in our ever-changing community.
Mission:
Our mission is to intentionally create a welcoming place where every student feels like they belong. We believe in shared responsibility, where staff, parents/guardians, and students work together to create a thriving community. We celebrate kindness and success while helping each other through challenges. We support each student on their own unique academic path. We want every student to feel confident in their ability to reach their highest potential and achieve their goals. At Moran Prairie, success is for everyone.
