Vision of the Graduate 2033!


MERSD Strategic Planning
MERSD is undertaking a two-year strategic planning process to define our roadmap for developing a future-focused education program.  Phase one will be focused on developing a Vision of the Graduate.  Following the blueprint from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), this work will be facilitated by the High School Principal, and it will seek to define what students should know and be able to do as a result of a Manchester Essex education.   In phase two, the profile will serve as the driver for the development of a multi-year plan that establishes a set of goals and strategic initiatives to achieve the Vision of the Graduate 2033.  As a first step, we are seeking your input.

A Request from Principal Puglisi
MERHS has begun the process of considering our philosophy of education as it relates to the Vision of the Graduate 2033.  The MERSD current kindergarten class will graduate in 2033.  Looking ahead to the future, what do we, as a community, think students will need to know and be able to do?  What are the skills and dispositions they will require to find success?   The outcome of this work will guide our future decisions about education.

We’d like your input.  Please complete the following form to let us know what skills and knowledge you believe students will need to be successful in the future - Vision of the Graduate

We will provide updates as we work through our process of the Vision of the Graduate.   We may also be seeking further input from our community stakeholders.


We are very excited about this undertaking, and we look forward to working with you to define the future of MERSD.
