Vision:

Achieving educational excellence – the successful coupling of academic education and character development

Mission:

Guilford County students will graduate as responsible citizens prepared to succeed in higher education, or in the career of their choice.*

*This mission was adopted by the Guilford County Board of Education on Dec. 12, 2000.

Values:

Diversity

We are committed to creating an educational organization where a variety of persons and perspectives are welcome. We are committed to providing an environment where students and staff from all cultures and backgrounds may succeed.

Empathy

We are committed to developing a culture where our employees identify with and understand the feelings of our students and parents as well as their colleagues.

Equality

We are committed to creating a school system where everyone is appreciated and judged based solely on their contributions and performance. Through the work of this institution, we will create awareness of and develop strategies to understand and eradicate prejudice, discrimination and racism on the individual and organizational level.

Innovativeness

We are committed to fostering a work environment where the goal is not to manage innovations, but to become innovative. Problems are identified, ownership of those problems is assumed by the adults in the district and everyone works together as agents of the solution until the problems are solved. We will not stop until obstacles are removed, solutions found, and clear and compelling goals are established.

Integrity

We are committed to creating a school district that acts with honesty and forthrightness, holding ourselves to high academic and ethical standards, and dealing with everyone with respect.
