Dear Hempstead ISD Staff, Students, Families, and Partners,

I am pleased to present our new five-year strategic plan, Learning & Leading to Higher Heights.

The launch of the 2023-2028 strategic plan provides an exciting new chapter for Hempstead ISD. Our plan titled "Learning & Leading to Higher Heights" highlights our commitment to working together as a community to equip all of our learners with the necessary tools to attain their maximum potential and prepare them for success in college, career, military and life by providing consistent, comprehensive, high-quality education.

The plan is reflective of community and stakeholder engagement and feedback, which helped to identify the priorities to help Hempstead ISD move forward over the next five years.

It also represents our shared promise to our students to create opportunities for success that will prepare them to be confident learners who excel in all future endeavors. This strategic plan includes our newly developed vision and mission, district beliefs, objectives, goals, and profiles of leaders, educators, and students.

This strategic plan is a significant first step of many we plan to take together to continue to move Hempstead ISD to Higher Heights. We can not do this work alone. Having a strong school system requires a collaborative commitment to ensure the success of our students. Therefore, the success of this strategic plan requires everyone's effort.

Everyone who interacts with our organization will play a role in student achievement. It will reinforce expectations and metrics used to measure success and will help our District perform at high levels.

We are excited about the future of Hempstead ISD, our community, and most importantly the 1,600+ students who we serve.

Thank you to the 2022-2023 Strategic Planning Committee who helped make our 2023-2028 strategic plan a reality.

Sincerely,

Herbert O'Neil
Superintendent of Schools
