Strategic Plan 2024-2029

On June 24, 2024, at a regular board meeting, Board of Education members approved the Shawnee Mission   School District (SMSD) Strategic Plan. The SMSD community engaged in thoughtful work, which led to the development of this road map which guides the district’s work for the years to come. Shawnee Mission has a proud tradition of excellence and this plan is designed to build on the past to create an even better future.

Strategic Plan Objective 

As with all conversations, questions, decisions, and evaluations, our beginning and end will point to our Strategic Plan centered on the following objective: 

The Portrait of a Graduate is our vision, our North Star, for what it means to be truly ready for the next step after high school. It’s not just about academic knowledge; it’s about the skills, habits, and mindsets that prepare students for college, career, and life success allowing them to navigate an unpredictable world.
