Our Mission

The mission of Region 8 is in partnership with our communities, we enable students to actively participate in and apply learning throughout life and be positive contributors in a changing world. During the 2017-2018 school year, the district engaged in a strategic planning process to review and revise our mission statement and develop specific goals that will guide future decision-making for the district. The strategic planning process included input and feedback from Board of Education members, parents, students, staff, administration and community members in order to involve as many of the RHAM stakeholders as possible. The strategic plan can be found on the main page of the district website under the Superintendent tab.
