Dear Parents, Staff and Community,
On behalf of Zachary Community Schools, I am proud to
present our 2015-2020 District Strategic Plan. The ideas, goals
and activities presented in the full plan will serve as a roadmap
to help guide our district for the next five years. The final
document is a culmination of the collaboration between board
members, teachers, administrators, staff and community
members. Our strategic plan defines the district's goals as we
move forward. This plan will be the driving force in guiding the use of our
resources in helping every student reach his or her potential. I am grateful to the
Strategic Planning Committee members who gave their valuable time, energy and
creativity in developing our new plan. I appreciate the Zachary Community for
sharing their thoughts and insights. We are a leading school district because of
your participation and support within our schools.
We look forward to working together with all of our stakeholders as we
continue to travel this path together as a Model of Excellence.
