Every day is filled with a unique mix of opportunities and challenges that shape our experiences. As we navigate through these situations, we rely on a variety of skills to help us succeed.

At Christina School District, the "Attributes of a Graduate" provides a clear framework outlining the essential knowledge, skills, experiences, and personal qualities that prepare our students for college, careers, and life beyond high school. 

These Attributes define what it means to be an ideal graduate of Christina School District. Through learning, applying, and reflecting on these qualities, our students take active ownership of their growth and achievements. This process empowers them to not only celebrate their successes today but also prepare for a bright future ahead, ready to tackle whatever comes their way.

Development of 'Attributes of a Graduate'

In 2022, the Christina School District took a proactive approach to shaping the future of our students by engaging directly with the community to gather insights on what defines a successful graduate. By reaching out to students, families, and community members, the district aimed to create a comprehensive understanding of the key traits that contribute to a well-rounded education. Focus groups were held allowing participants to share their insights, helping to identify and articulate the skills, qualities, and experiences that contribute to a well-rounded and prepared graduate ready to thrive in an ever-evolving world. This process led to the creation of the 'Attributes of a Graduate.'
