Guiding Principles
Mission Statement – USD 232 will prepare all students for their future through excellent, innovative learning opportunities with caring, dedicated and passionate staff, in a safe and secure environment.

Portrait of Graduate – The Portrait of Graduate serves as a guiding framework for educators to design curriculum, assessment methods, and extracurricular activities that contribute to the holistic development of students.
Efficient Use of Resources – District staff and the Board of Education take seriously the responsibility of using tax dollars efficiently and in a way that best benefits the classroom learning experience.
