The Rush-Henrietta Board of Education approved four district goals at its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, January 23. The goals are the result of a community-wide survey; six focus groups; student data including demographics, behavior, proficiency and graduation; and two in-person workshops to review all of this information. The four goals are:

• Excellence for Every Student: R-H will sustain and further develop its culture of academic distinction by championing the potential within every student. 

• Preparing Students for the Pathways to Tomorrow: R-H will be a driving force for workforce development and a cornerstone for community growth. 

• Foundation to Flourish for All Students: R-H will cultivate a vibrant educational landscape where every student's engagement is ignited and positive behavior is naturally fostered. 

• Cohesive and Inclusive Community and Culture: R-H is dedicated to fostering a cohesive and welcoming community, where open communication serves as the foundation for unity. 

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback during the past few months to help us create these four important goals. The future is bright! You can learn more about the established priorities supporting each goal below.
