New Haven Public Schools Vision:
We believe all kids can learn, achieve, and rise to a bright future. Our purpose is to provide an outstanding education beyond graduation and prepare our students to be the next generation of leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers.

Engagement is the foundation of learning and growth for students, adults, and the school district. We will be successful when all students actively engage in their learning, when adults engage in their professional community, and when the school district is consistently learning and growing to respond to the needs of children and schools. We must all engage and take collective responsibility for ensuring student success and well-being so that every child has a chance to rise.

To create this engagement, our vision is to build a portfolio of great schools that empower students to succeed in college, career, and life through purposeful, supportive and meaningful learning experiences. In crafting those learning experiences, we must strive to engage the whole child academic learning, social-emotional growth, and health that enable students and schools to rise.

As we work, we hold tight to the values of collaboration, growth and innovation, and equity.
