In the fall of 2021, Dr. Brandon Graham and district leadership began the work to establish a five-year strategic vision outlining the future direction of Jenison Public Schools. This comprehensive plan aims to elevate student achievement, inspire community connection, and unlock leadership potential. 

We gathered over 10,000 write-in responses of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges through SWOT analyses at each building, surveys of staff, students, parents, and community members, and feedback from district committees. Five key focus areas emerged after analyzing, reviewing, and categorizing the thousands of inputs. These five areas encompass the voice of our school community and set the vision of our district’s priorities

Over the past year and a half, we have worked internally with our staff to build sustainable goals and strategies to accomplish our five-year vision objectives. Having continued staff input and voice in this process is critical, so we created staff leadership teams to guide the five focus areas and establish action items across the district to grow engagement and momentum.

Our goal is to provide updates throughout the year to our parents and community members on how the strategic vision is taking shape, how it impacts students and staff, and opportunities to get involved in the process.
