Strategic Plan

Developed by the students, families, and staff of United South Central Public Schools

Link to USC Strategic Roadmap

We asked our students, families, and staff what they value most in our schools. Their answers were clear—they want more of what truly matters. They want engaging and meaningful learning experiences. They want personal connections and opportunities for students to discover their passions and sense of belonging. They want students to feel challenged, heard, and well-prepared for their futures.

At United South Central Public Schools, we are dedicated to fostering a culture that supports both students and staff in achieving their best. We're realigning our resources, shifting our focus, and creating a clear plan to ensure that what matters most to you is reflected in everything we do. Our commitment isn’t about doing more but about doing the essential things exceptionally well.
