Greatness is a choice, and Sweetwater ISD is committed to choosing greatness by improving every student every day. Sweetwater ISD’s Strategic Learning Plan is built upon three S’s of being Specific, Systematic, and Sustainable.  

How can one be successful in the future even when you do not know what the future will be like? Growing learning agility is the key to being successful in the future. In and through the process to reaching greatness and being successful, we know that we can never be satisfied where we are because we can always improve and, at the same time, we must never be disappointed in how far we have come because we are working as hard as we can to achieve greatness and success. As we journey into the unknown future, we will experience challenges, but we can overcome these challenges together. We overcome these challenges by setting specific student outcome goals telling us what students know and what students are able to do, establishing systematic processes and procedures to execute a plan, while maintaining our core values, to achieve the student outcome goals, and creating sustainable progress to make the student outcome goals a reality by consistently, based on student data, monitoring and adjusting.

In order to accomplish the student outcome goals and operate within the specific core values systems have to be created that keep the district effective and efficient. The Sweetwater ISD’s S3trategic Learning Plan has identified five systemic pillars that will guide the transition from a traditional school model to one that propels our mission through strategic structures and systems that support staff, students, and parents/guardians to choose the optimum learning environment for every student every day. The five systemic pillars are academic continuity, health and safety, student supports, operational structure, and human resources.
