Portrait of a Graduate
Throughout the 2023-2024 school year, a diverse group from the Whitehall community met regularly to develop the Whitehall School's Portrait of a Graduate. The Portrait Design Team, made up of community stakeholders, held meetings in October, November, December, and January. All Whitehall School District parents were invited to participate, and additional members from the broader community were also encouraged to join. Ultimately, the team included a wide range of participants: 7 students, 2 school board members, 10 parents, 6 teachers, 3 administrators, 4 community members, 2 local business owners, 1 town council member, 1 town librarian, and 1 state legislator. Through consensus-building activities, the team identified 5 key competencies that capture a shared vision of student readiness for Whitehall graduates.
