Celebrating Strengths<br />
During the 2017-18 school year, Adams 12 <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> Schools pursued a year-long engagement<br />
process to determine the district’s new strategic plan, ELEVATE. What we discovered through<br />
that process were district strengths as determined through stories from members of our staff<br />
and community. We asked about a time when the district, school or a staff member did right<br />
by a student. When were we at our best? We heard stories of teachers caring for students and<br />
counselors collaborating together. Stories of custodians feeling empowered and of parents<br />
engaging with school staff. Overall, we heard stories that focused on going above and beyond<br />
for the success of all students across our district.<br />
Throughout the process, we compiled stories into categories that revealed our district strengths.<br />
In Adams 12 <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Star</strong> Schools, we Care, Collaborate, Empower, Engage and Focus on Students.<br />
It tells us who we are currently, but also challenges us moving forward. How will we continue to<br />
live out our strengths in our communities?<br />
One way to live out our strengths is to continue to tell stories.<br />
