We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the students, staff, teachers, administrators, school board members, parents, and business and community leaders who joined us in crafting our Portrait of a Jacket and Strategic Plan. Your collaboration and dedication have been invaluable in shaping the future of Greenville Public Schools.

Additionally, we would like to sincerely thank our partners at Battelle for Kids for their support and guidance throughout this process. Together, we are creating a brighter tomorrow for our students and community. Thank you.

During the fall of 2024, the Board of Education engaged with diverse community members, staff, administration, and students to develop the Greenville Public Schools’ Portrait of a Jacket. The Portrait is a collective vision articulating our community’s aspirations for all GPS students and graduates. Now more than ever, learning experiences must not only provide for the acquisition of rigorous academic content, but they must also be more intentional about fostering problem-solving, communication, adaptability, perseverance, and other 21st-century skills. Often, the skills learned during academic learning are more critical to the success of our students than the actual content they are learning. Please take a moment to review our finalized Portrait of a Jacket. 

The Portrait of a Jacket was our first step in framing a new vision for Greenville Public Schools. Once we completed our Portrait, the Board of Education engaged stakeholders again to help develop a new Strategic Plan, which will guide the district's decision-making over the next three to five years. The strategic plan will unify our current work of refining our Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports (MTSS), our Michigan Integrated Continuous Improvement Process (MICIP), and the Portrait of a Jacket as well as a tool to help us launch this work and track our progress.

Greenville Public Schools Strategic Plan 2024-2029

From our preschoolers to our seniors, this work has an enduring impact. Each of us plays an essential role in making the Portrait of a Jacket a reality for every student as we create meaningful learning experiences daily. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Superintendent Wayne Roedel.
