 District's Vision

Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools will provide every student with the foundation of knowledge, skills and character necessary to excel in higher education, work and life.

We embrace and value a diverse student population and community. Different perspectives and backgrounds form the cornerstone of our strong public education system.

TO SUCCEED WE MUST

• Provide an excellent teacher in every class, for every student, every year;
• Ensure that school leadership is focused on high student achievement and cultivates an environment that produces excellence for a diverse student body;
• Build and sustain effective and efficient systems to support finances, operations and the academic and personal growth of students;
• Engage all families, recognizing the power and responsibility of parents and caregivers to drive success for students; and
• Strengthen connections with the entire community to support all areas of student growth.

WE BELIEVE

• All students bring unique cultural backgrounds, learning styles, abilities, interests, and social and health needs.
• Each student can achieve at high levels, exceeding national standards.
• Quality school staff is essential to academic excellence.
• Consistent and sustained leadership ensures results are achieved and proven strategies can take hold.
• Professional development must be sustained, clear and consistently focused on quality instruction.
• Families and community organizations must be partners in meeting our goals.
• Each person in the school system is responsible for working toward this vision.
• Effective, two-way communication with parents and other stakeholders is essential.
• Transparency and accountability must be valued and practiced.
