The entire UHA community will work towards this vision by forming partnerships for education. Employees will be motivated and dedicated using data to help drive instructional practices and research to help support enrichment activities. Parents will support the education of their children by being involved and extending their own learning. Community organizations and businesses will support the education of pupils in unique ways as their recourses permit. All of these people and groups will work together in a collegial fashion to help create the ideal education/enrichment program.
