Goal #7
Individuals are ultimately responsible for investing in their own growth and potential.
• 90% of currently enrolled students entering grades K, 3, 6, & 9 will participate in grade level or school orientation programs.
The Pikeland Board of Education has been actively establishing goals for the 2021-2022 school year. As the school year settles in, a complete list of the goals will be presented with updates on the district’s website.
Pittsfield High School is leading the way with Goal #7. The high school began working on Goal #7 in June of 2021 with many planning sessions over the summer. During the months of July and August, high school teachers and administrators began to make the goal a reality.
Over a period of 4 days, the high school staff connected with 97 of the 106 members of the Class of 2025. This outstanding work meets and exceeds the targeted goal with 92% of the 9th grade class participating in a grade level orientation program. Nice work PHS!
