At Andrew Johnson Elementary School, our mission is:

Equipping and empowering tomorrow's leaders today.

Our vision is realized by focusing on:

Leadership:

• Utilizing a system to ensure ongoing staff learning in the 7 Habits and The Leader in Me principles.
• Integrating and consistently modeling the 7 Habits and leadership principles by staff.
• Ensuring there are systems in place for family and community engagement, collaboration, and communication.

Culture:

• Empowering students, staff, and families to naturally articulate the language and the leadership principles of the 7 Habits.
• Providing a safe physical and emotional environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, loved, and trusted.
• Implementing innovative schoolwide and classroom opportunities to support and develop students’ personal leadership skills.

Academics:

• Collaborating in developing and tracking schoolwide WIGs (wildly important goals).
• Building student Leadership Notebooks to allow for reflecting on WIGs with peer accountability partners and utilizing this data to lead conferences.
• Planning collaboratively and reflecting as a staff in order to build relationships with students and empower them to become student leaders.
