Winchester Public Schools must be learner-centered, agile and courageous in modeling the power of public education across our Commonwealth, country and world. A vibrant public education system positively impacts the social, economic and civic well-being of Winchester. Embracing the diversity of our students, their families and our community is a strength that unifies us. To achieve equity, we must clearly define and monitor the extent to which all learners and groups are empowered through access, diversity and inclusion.
