A student at West Clermont High School engages with the technology the district has invested in over the last several years.
What do you think of when you hear the word invest? What do you think of when you hear the word success? In most cases, doing the first will lead to the second.
This is why, over the last several years, West Clermont School District has worked diligently to improve the overall health of our organization. What we’ve found to be true is that we can’t improve the health of our organization without investing—specifically, investing in people. Through a people-first approach, we have built trust between students, staff, families, and our community. We’ve unified as one pack (just as our namesake, the wolf) by connecting and caring for one another.
This mutual trust has allowed us to make other investments and changes that will inevitably lead to success. These investments include things like forming one high school and one middle school; developing a bold vision and mission for our future; implementing elementary boundary changes; opening new facilities; stabilizing our finances through the passage of the first operating levy in 16 years; and most importantly, coming together like never before to educate, support, and care for our students and staff through a global pandemic. Combined, our investments elevate the importance of a quality education that prepares students for the demands of the unpredictable modern world.
Additionally, throughout the pandemic, the state and federal governments provided schools with revenue to combat both the response to COVID-19 and the response to the impact of COVID-19. These funds offer us an opportunity to invest in our students and staff in ways we were not expecting. This uptick in our finances is needed now more than ever so that we can ensure our students:
Have a strong sense of belonging, feel valued, and stay connected in our schools and in the community
Develop the mindset, skills, and tools necessary to learn, lead, and succeed
Know their strengths and interests and have hopes and dreams for their future
We continue to say THANK YOU to our community for your ongoing support. We recognize that without you, these investments would not be possible! Because of you, our district is headed onward and upward!
