Portrait of a Graduate

MSAD44 Portrait of a Graduate

The Portrait of a Graduate for SAD#44  was a collective effort of our 6-12 building staff which included solicited information from the district families and general public through a series of surveys.

The purpose of the portrait is to have a target by which we evaluate our educational decisions on programming, budget, and options to help provide our students with the educational opportunities and skills we as a community value and want them to possess.  A big portion of this work with students in our 6-12 building takes place within the 7 Peaks program.

The following is the final product image, vision and mission statements,  and an explanation of the key terms selected as a result of the process to represent the portrait work.

Curriculum, programs, and future projects will all be measured against the goals of the portrait.
