Peninsula 2026 Strategic Plan Logo

Peninsula School District’s new strategic plan will guide our collective work over the next five years to build on our tradition of success to become the best school district in the state.

The initial foundation of the plan was created by the Peninsula School District Board of Directors, and the final version reflects input collected through numerous in-person meetings with staff, students, and community members and an online engagement platform called ThoughtExchange. 

Thank you to all of you who participated in the strategic planning process. Your commitment to the long-term success of our district ensures that the strategy, priorities, and goals outlined within this plan truly capture a path forward that is reflective of the needs, desires, and demands of the PSD community.

This strategic plan is centered around our district’s core values, which call out our belief that every child, in every school, deserves daily support on their own unique journey to excellence.

Krestin Bahr, Superintendent

By carefully aligning our values and goals within a strategic plan, we will ensure the district is moving in the right direction to achieve our mission and vision.
