Values & Focus
Living Our Values
Our community cares about our children and we should have the power to decide what comes next at Big Walnut.
We can accomplish together what none of us can do alone.
Collaboration brings out the strengths, ideas, and resilience that only emerge when people are working side by side toward a common goal.
Focus on the Children
Our children do not deserve to be the political cannon fodder of petty, partisan squabbling, but should thrive regardless of who’s in power.
Their future cannot be held hostage by culture wars and identity politics - it should be safeguarded with stability, opportunity, and the freedom to grow into their full potential.
We are a growing district and need to focus on how to best meet the district's needs as it grows. Making sure that the community is aware of when funds are needed and why is important to keeping our children's futures bright and possibilities wide open.
Commitment to Excellence
Our schools should be places where curiosity is sparked, skills are sharpened, and potential is unlocked.
That means supporting our teachers, investing in resources that work, and holding ourselves accountable to high standards.
Excellence is not about chasing test scores - it’s preparing every child to step into the future with confidence no matter what path they choose to pursue. Our students deserve the tools to hit the ground running whether they choose to attend college or opt to enter the workforce immediately following graduation.
