On Friday afternoon, September 8, members of the Leadership Team, the Associate Principals, and the Board Academic Committee came together to think about the purpose of education, to create a timeline of the school's history and to share their perspectives on the coming priorities around Learning and Talent goals for the Building Futures Plan 2018-2021.
The group read Chapter 2, "The Purpose of Education" from Most Likely to Succeed by Ted Dintersmith and Tony Wagner.
And the question that was posed was "What is the most important purpose of education?"

The most important purpose of education for me is probably to give students the skills (primarily soft skills) to be successful in a future that we can not imagine.
