Innovation and Leadership

Monticello Schools are committed to guiding both staff and students to make inclusive decisions with race, gender, ethnicity, ability and experience in mind. We believe that all people can be leaders. In developing leaders, we will foster the ability to understand our own strengths and weaknesses. We strive to support students, families, employees, community members and citizens through exposure and development of innovation, creativity, and equity.

Teaching and Learning

Monticello Schools are committed to meeting the needs of all learners through teaching and learning. We believe in educating the whole child by providing relevant and challenging curriculum that meets their developmental needs.  We will support this belief through professional development, continuous high standards, and strategic assessments and instruction.

Collaborative Connections

Monticello Schools are committed to fostering collaborative relationships with all educational stakeholders: families, staff, students, and community. An emphasis will be placed on community service, career exploration, leadership opportunities, and apprenticeships for all ages.  We pledge to be fiscally responsible as we strive to engage all stakeholders and foster school/family relationships.

Safe and Healthy Culture

Monticello Schools are committed to creating a safe and supportive learning environment with a positive culture fostering a mutual purpose. We believe that relationships built on trust will give students and staff a sense of belonging and ownership while having high expectations for themselves and others.
