At USD 327, we are committed to our motto: "Better Together, Striving for Excellence." Guided by our six strategic themes—

6. Align Resources with Facilities and Infrastructure

—we are focused on preparing students for success in an ever-changing world.

Over the past three years, we have expanded our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs from 8 to 13 career pathways, offering students more real-world learning experiences and preparing them for college, careers, and beyond. This growth reflects our commitment to supporting exploration, engaging our community partners, and aligning opportunities with workforce needs.

Our vision for the district centers on listening, learning, and engaging. Through listening sessions with students, staff, parents, business leaders, and community members, we’ve developed a strategic plan that is both grounded in local values and bold in its aspirations. Together, we are shaping a purposeful future that reflects the strengths of our district and our shared commitment to excellence.

We invite you to join us on this journey.
Let’s Grow—Together.
