Adlai E Stevenson High School

Our Mission:

Our Stevenson tradition of sustained excellence has been built upon a foundation of the search for continuous improvement and life-long learning - for the students as well as the adults. The enclosed Vision and Values Document provides the “imaginati on” of what it is we hope to become as a school community. It is our vision for the future.

The Board of Education engaged representative members of the community, faculty, support staff, administrators, and students in the development of the vision statement enclosed in this brochure. They helped paint a picture of what we hope Stevenson can be come. In this brochure, we present statements of the collective commitments each group developed.

Since the inception of our first Vision and Values Document in 1983, our school has been built upon three fundamental vision points:

Excellence in Education (1983)
Success for Every Student (1990)
Teaching and Learning Student Responsibility (1996)

Now we enter into a fourth era at Stevenson, becoming an authentic learning community - the search for sustained excellence becomes our primary vision point.

Creating an exemplary school is an individual and a collective endeavor. Stevenson’s continued and sustained improvement will depend on the extent to which each of us fulfills our respective responsibilities as outlined in this document. The future o f our school depends on it.

Vission Statement:

Stevenson High School is an exemplary learning community school. To ensure future development and growth, the school must have a clear sense of the goals it is trying to accomplish, the characteristics of the school it seeks to become, and the contributio ns the various stake holders in the school will make in order to transform ideals into reality. The following vision statement is intended to provide the standards Stevenson High School should strive to achieve and maintain.
