Vision of the Graduate and Strategic Planning Community Engagement


The Manchester Essex Regional School District continues to be recognized as one of the highest performing school districts in Massachusetts. I am very proud of the wonderful work our dedicated faculty and staff do every day to support the social, emotional and intellectual growth of our students, and I am very excited about MERSD’s future.

Looking to build upon the success of our program and to prepare students for the workplace of tomorrow, MERSD has begun a two-year strategic planning process to define our roadmap for creating a future-focused education program.  

Phase one focuses on developing a Vision of the Graduate.  Following the blueprint from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), this process seeks to define what students should know and be able to do as a result of a Manchester Essex education and examines the question - What are the skills and dispositions students will require to find success? 

In phase two (Spring 2020), 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.  We will be engaging the community in a conversation about our future needs during February & March 2020 and will present the plan in the Fall 2020-2021 school year.
