Portrait of a Gladiator

Every school system is unique, but they are connected by a shared aspiration: that all students have an educational experience preparing them to be effective lifelong learners and contributors. The Portrait of a Gladiator at South Allegheny will:

• serve as a collective vision that articulates the community’s aspirations for all students, 

• be a North Star for system transformation,

• provide for the acquisition of rigorous academic content,

• encourage us to be intentional about fostering critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, and other 21st century skills our young people need to thrive in this complex, rapidly changing world, 

• provide strategic direction for the redesign of the overall educational experience for students, 

• reinvigorate and re-engage students, teachers, and community stakeholders.
