The Reading Public Schools is seeking members of different sectors of our community to participate on the Reading Public Schools Portrait of A Graduate Design Team.  The purpose of this team is to develop a vision of what types of skills and dispositions our students will need when they graduate from Reading Memorial High School.  The questions that we will answer with community input are as follows:

• What are the hopes, aspirations, and dreams that our community has for our young people?
• What are the skills and habits of mind that our children need for success in this rapidly changing and complex world?
• What are the implications for the learning experiences we provide in our school systems?

From this work we will develop a proposed portrait of the graduate, which with School Committee approval, will become the basis for our future program planning in our school district.

The Portrait of a Graduate Design Team will consist of representation from the following sectors:

• Clergy 
• Business 
• Higher Ed 
• Social Service
• Student
• Educators 
• Community Member
• Parent
• School Committee Member 
• Town Official
• High School Principal
• Middle School Principal
• Elementary Principal
• Superintendent
• Other District Administrator

The Design Team will be co-chaired by RMHS Principal Kate Boynton and Superintendent of School John Doherty.  The time commitment will be evening meetings from January, 2020-October, 2020.
