Strategic Vision and Leadership

Shipley's Vision 20/26: Inspiring Lives of Purpose strategic plan states, "We inspire and prepare each of our students to live a life of purpose: to grow intellectually, act compassionately, and lead courageously." A key strategy under the goal of Educational Excellence is to: Cultivate a diverse and inclusive community where all members learn from, through, and about each other, increasing our ability to work across differences in our school, in our communities, and in the world. Our DEI Strategic Plan provides a roadmap for achieving this ambitious and important goal.
