Our Strategic Plan is a carefully crafted roadmap that guides the district’s actions, priorities, and goals over the next four years. It reflects our commitment to excellence and serves as a blueprint for achieving growth and success in all areas of education and operations.

The creation of this Strategic Plan was a collaborative effort. We are proud to have had 23 individuals volunteer to participate in the Strategic Planning Committee. Through both small and large group discussions, committee members worked diligently to build a shared vision, mission, core values, goals, action steps, and measures of success that focus on the future of our school. Additionally, the committee identified the critical competencies, Tiger Traits, that all graduates should possess upon graduation, ensuring we are preparing our students for success in college, careers, and life.

We cannot thank our committee members enough for their hard work and dedication. Their contributions were invaluable in shaping the future of Holgate Local Schools.

Our Vision defines Holgate Local Schools in its most aligned, effective state, performing at its highest potential. Our Mission is a clear description of the work we do every day to achieve our vision.  Our vision, "Tiger Pride. Always!", embodies the heart of Holgate Local Schools. It reflects our commitment to instilling pride in our students, staff, and community by empowering each other, upholding traditions, and inspiring excellence through a strong work ethic.

At Holgate Local Schools, we believe that success extends beyond the classroom. Our Student Tiger Traits represent the essential skills and values that prepare students for life after graduation. 

Purposeful Learning
Tiger Traits are intentionally woven into daily lessons, activities, and interactions. By connecting these traits to real-world experiences, students see their relevance beyond the classroom. 

Shared Language
Consistency is key to lasting impact. Tiger Traits serve as a common language that unites students, staff, parents, and the community. We encourage our Tigers to embrace and apply these values at school, in the home, and throughout the community strengthening their character and creating a culture of excellence across all areas of life.

Why Tiger Traits Matter

For Students: Provides a foundation for personal growth and lifelong success.
For Staff: Creates consistent expectations and models core values.
For Families: Strengthens partnerships between home and school by reinforcing shared values.
For the Community: Develops responsible, engaged citizens who contribute to the greater good.

Together, we are shaping a generation of Tigers who lead with integrity, act with purpose, and strive for excellence.
