Mission, Vision, Commitments, and Goals

Mission

At Wasatch High School, our mission is to ensure high levels of learning for all students. We are committed to preparing every student for success in college, career, and life by providing academic excellence, meaningful career pathways, rich involvement opportunities, and a safe, supportive environment.

Vision

At Wasatch High School, we believe the key to improved student learning is increased capacity in adults. Through shared leadership, collaboration, collective responsibility, and a focus on results, we strive to cultivate an inclusive culture where all learners grow.

Commitments

  1. Educators work in collaborative teams and take collective responsibility for student learning rather than work in isolation.
  2. Collaborative teams implement a guaranteed and viable curriculum.
  3. Collaborative teams monitor student learning through an ongoing assessment process that includes frequent team-developed common formative assessments.
  4. Educators use the results of common assessments to improve individual practice, to build the team’s capacity to achieve its goals, and to intervene and extend on behalf of students.
  5. The school provides a systematic process for intervention and extension.
