The mission of the Plano Independent School District is to provide an excellent education for all students. The primary business of the school district is the education of students. Each student can learn given appropriate expectations, challenging curricula, quality instruction, adequate time and sufficient resources. Basic skills and critical thinking are the foundation of life-long learning. Excellence in public education is best achieved through a shared vision and cooperative effort of students, their family, staff and the community.
Public education is our best economic investment and the foundation of our democratic principles.
Each individual is equally important and valuable. Understanding and appreciating individual diversity is vital to public education and community stability. Positive citizenship, caring, nurturing and mutual respect are essential to the educational process. Morals and values are necessary components of education. To accomplish its mission, the district must attract, train, and retain a high quality staff.
