Portrait of a Graduate

Social Circle City Schools’ Portrait of a Graduate is designed to set direction and expectation for the learning experience of SCCS students. Our theory of change is that if learning is designed to foster the competencies named in our portrait, then school will be consistently enriching, engaging, and meaningful for SCCS students today and more responsive to the workforce and civic needs of tomorrow. Further, by setting our sights on the development of these key competencies, we believe access and opportunity to the futures our students hope for will be more likely because of the educational experience SCCS delivers. Finally, we believe the Portrait of a Graduate provides a critical bridge between school and community, offering a shared language about our collective work of developing the next generation of leaders, scholars, and neighbors.
