BECOME A WILDCAT


At Jenison, we believe that to effectively equip and lead our students, our staff teams should be invested in, equipped, and unified. That’s why our culture and strategic vision are focused around cultivating leaders who are empowered in their roles and inspired to grow in their careers and future.

Our goals for investing in people at JPS include:
  • Recruiting, retaining, and developing motivated, inspiring, and child-centered team members
  • Championing new and first-year staff
  • Prioritizing the needs and well-being of our team

OUR CORE VALUES & VISION

Everything we do at Jenison Public Schools is guided by our core values and our strategic vision:
  • The Wildcat Way: Our Core Values and Character
  • Strategic Vision: Our Long-Term Vision for JPS

Character is at the core of who we are at Jenison. In addition to award-winning programs and academics, we infuse the character traits of the Wildcat Way in everything we do. Students and staff hold each other to expectations of personal responsibility, empathy, and respect—just a few of the traits that empower kids to reach their full potential.


Our strategic vision was developed through over 10,000 inputs from staff members, students, parents, and our community. Through these inputs we created a framework for our five year vision outlining the forward direction of the district. The final comprehensive plan will aim to elevate student achievement, inspire community connection, and unlock leadership potential.Strategic Vision Five Focus Area Icons
