Strategic Plan 2017

Dr. Robert Avossa, our Superintendent, has unveiled the district's 5-year plan for increasing student achievement.  Three specific goals will serve as our measure for long-term student success:
  • Graduation Rate – 90% of Fulton students will graduate on time
  • College Readiness – 85% of Fulton’s seniors will be eligible for admission to a University System of Georgia college or university
  • Career Readiness – 100% of Fulton’s graduates will be work-ready certified

“Building Our Future,” Fulton's strategic planning initiative, will focus on five strategic themes to achieve these goals:
  • Instruction Students will be engaged in learning that enables them to reach their full potential for college and career readiness
  • People Fulton County Schools will attract and retain the most talented and effective employees in K-12 education
  • Technology – Students, parents, teachers and administrators will have the tools and information they need to accelerate learning
  • Effective Schools – School leadership will be collaborative and will balance innovation with accountability
  • Resources – Student needs will be supported with efficient and effective allocation of staff, instructional materials and equipment

At Hopewell, we are committed to supporting the district's strategic plan by working towards local school goals that will positively impact student achievement over the long-term.  Specifically, we are striving to:
  • Increase the % of students exceeding standard in Reading on the CRCT
  • Increase the % of students exceeding standard in Math on the CRCT
  • Improve student achievement in writing
By targeting efforts towards the highest level of achievement, we are preparing students for the rigors of high school and equipping them for success no matter what their courses of study may ultimately be.

As parents, you play an important role as well. Thank you for partnering with us, supporting us, and entrusting your child to us. I look forward to working with you in our pursuit of excellence.
