Recognized as the Simpson County School District's "North Star," the Portrait of a Graduate is a collective vision that articulates our community's aspirations for all of our students for life after school. The Board of Education approved the Portrait of a Graduate Plan on February 9, 2023.
The Portrait of a Graduate frames a new vision for our school system and guides the steps we take to prepare our students to be college-, career- and life-ready in this 21st century. Simply put, the Portrait of a Graduate adapts the traditional model of education to evolve in an ever-changing world.
Together, students, faculty, community members, and business partners settled upon a shared vision of the qualities each and every graduate of Simpson County School District should have to succeed in college, career and life.
