Dear Birmingham Public Schools community,
With great excitement and pride, I share with you the Birmingham Public Schools Strategic Plan for 2022-2027.
Like the compass in our logo, our Strategic Plan will provide direction for the next five years, focusing our team on academic excellence, social and emotional wellness, fiscal responsibility, and attracting and retaining world-class talent.
I want to extend my sincere appreciation to those of you who have completed surveys, engaged in one of our focus groups, or participated on a committee. As a result, we have heard the voices of our students, staff, parents, and the community. Your insights have been heard and play a significant part in this guiding document.
Thank you again for your continued commitment to Birmingham Public Schools, our students, and our community. Together, we will keep our District strong and move forward confidently, knowing we have a solid, comprehensive plan built with feedback and input from our entire community to guide our efforts and take our District to the next level.

We welcome and celebrate diversity by honoring the dignity of every human being. We seek opportunities to value the differences expressed throughout our vibrant community.
We partner with community organizations to engage families in a reciprocal process that actively supports student learning and well-being.
We believe in the unique talents of our community members, and we are committed to providing access to the resources and opportunities needed for each individual to thrive.
We support an environment that welcomes challenges, encourages resilience, and inspires the ability to overcome adversity.
We lead and act with transparency, fairness, and respect.
Our Strategic Priorities
Birmingham Public Schools' strategic plan focuses on four priorities to realize its vision, advance its mission, and express its core values.
Student Achievement | Culture of Unity & Wellbeing | World-Class Talent | Responsible Stewardship
Our Advisory and Review Committees created these priorities based on the feedback from our students, parents, staff, and community. In addition, we identified our stakeholders' needs through surveys, focus groups, and academic and behavioral data analysis.
