Vision - North Oconee High School

As we continue to grow and change, it is important as a group that we have a shared vision of where we hope to take North Oconee High School.  An effective vision statement clarifies the school's view about tomorrow's opportunities and challenges.  In addition, a well-articulated vision statement concisely describes the strategy we will use to reach our desired future state.  Vision statements should be concise, appeal to all stakeholders, consistent with the mission, verifiable, feasible, and inspirational.  While Missions and Values do not change regularly for organizations, the Vision statement must change and grow along with the school (adapted from GLISI).
We have been reviewing our current Vision statement for North Oconee High School since the beginning of the school year.

We have had wonderful feedback from teachers, staff, parents, and students regarding the vision.  A a whole, we believe everything in the current vision is important and that we are progressing well with our vision. Taking into account other feedback provided, we have drafted four vision statements that reflect our current needs for a North Oconee vision.  Parents, students, faculty, and staff of North Oconee High School - please vote for one below.

Our current vision:
