• Williston Basin CTE Center and Del Easton Alternative School
  The opening of the Williston Basin CTE Center and relocation of Del Easton Alternative School to the high school campus expands resources and career pathways for WHS students and surrounding schools.

• Public Engagement Enhancements
  Community engagement will expand through additional school board and administrative public meetings, diverse feedback opportunities, and community surveys. A newly established Leadership Council, composed of representatives from parents, teachers, and administrators, will play a vital role in advising on key district decisions. Continuous website enhancements, a streamlined communication matrix, and regular "Fast Facts" videos from the superintendent will further support accessible, transparent, and timely communication across our school community.

• Infrastructure Updates & Expanded Transportation
  Investments will focus on updating and repairing existing infrastructure to provide safe, modern learning environments across the district. Additionally, expanded transportation services will improve accessibility and support the growing needs of our students and families.

As part of our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement, our district will update its Strategic Plan during the 2024-2025 school year. The newly formed Leadership Council—composed of parents, teachers, and administrators—will lead the development this plan, ensuring it reflects our evolving priorities in Academic Engagement, Innovation, School Culture, and Resource Management. This collaborative approach means our district’s path forward is shaped directly by those we serve, fostering a shared and inclusive vision for success.

As we look to the future, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our community. Your support enables us to inspire and prepare students for the next stages of education, work, and life. Thank you for being an essential part of our school community—we look forward to all we will achieve together!
