Vision and Mission
In the fall of 2019, a team of board members, staff, and community members was convened to draft new vision and mission statements in order to ensure that the Career Center of the Patricia A Hannaford Regional Technical School District (PAHRTSD) continues to meet the needs of students now and in the future. The new vision and mission reflect the voices of students, staff, and community members. We are pleased to be able to share the final outcome with our communities.
​
Vision Statement
We envision a career and technical center that empowers students to be inquisitive, caring, and open-minded citizens of local, national, and global communities. These students will engage as lifelong learners, understanding and accepting different viewpoints and perspectives.
​
Mission Statement
We provide students with rigorous, hands-on, and classroom instruction, robust community partnerships, and project-based learning opportunities that empower and inspire them to build strong work habits, relevant, innovative technical skills, and a sense of personal responsibility as local, national, and global citizens while ensuring equity for all participants.
