Mary's Core Beliefs

Achievement Defines Elmbrook

Sustain Academic Achievement 

 The board must provide fact-based decision making and assessment to ensure that we continue to meet our reputation of excellence for every child.

  • We owe our students a rigorous, challenging education that will help them become critical thinkers, responsible citizens, and healthy adults ready for college, careers, and the challenges of life in a changing world.

  • While we applaud the successes of our highest achievers, we must do more to encourage and support the growth and success of every student in our district.

  • We are admired among our peers for the great work being done by our students and the innovative programming of our staff.

  • We must respect, recruit, and retain the best educators.

  • Teachers, coaches, administrators – all are key to ensuring the success of our students. And we are in the business of making sure our students succeed.

  • The magic of learning happens in classrooms, on athletic fields, in concerts, on stages, in science labs, and at library storytime. With teachers in increasingly short supply locally and nationally, we must do everything we can to attract and invest in the very best – educators who love what they do and love where they work. That’s when the magic happens.

Our Excellence Depends on Our Educators

Our Excellence Depends on Our Educators

The magic happens in the classrooms, labs, and playing fields. We must recruit, retain, and respect our teachers and staff, especially in this time of teacher shortages.

Strong Public Schools Serve Everyone

Strong Public Schools Serve Everyone

Why did you move here? High property values? Affordable taxes? Quality of life? The education of your children? What do we have in common? We all benefit from strong public schools.

  • Taxpayers benefit from our responsible fiscal and facilities management while providing educational excellence. 

  • Many of us choose to live in the district because of our schools, and many stay long after their children graduate from school. Living in a community where education is valued increases the quality of life for all.

  • Like the families of public school students, private and parochial families benefit from Elmbrook's ability to address the needs of a wide spectrum of students across our community.
