Comprehensive Plan
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING - 2026-2029
Pennsylvania school districts must update a Comprehensive Plan every three years. Apollo-Ridge has now finished updating our plan. This plan helps guide our work. It helps us set goals, use our resources wisely, and make decisions that support student learning and success. Teachers, administrators, parents, and community members all helped shape this plan. It shares our goals and the steps we will take over the next three years. Thank you to everyone who gave their time to help with this important work.
Sincerely,
Dr. Courtney Anderson
Superintendent Apollo-Ridge School District
As part of our new Comprehensive Plan, we adopted a new mission:
Growth First. People Always.
We also adopted a new vision:
We see a community that works to get better each day — growing together to build a brighter future.
These statements remind us that strong relationships, steady growth, and support for every student are at the center of our work.
Our educational values include:
-
Every student, staff member, and family deserves respect, kindness, and a safe learning environment.
-
All students can succeed when they are given meaningful and challenging learning opportunities.
-
Families, staff, and students work together to support the whole child.
-
Viking Pride comes from effort, achievement, and doing our best every day.
Our main goals are to:
-
Improve student growth and achievement in Math at all grade levels.
-
Improve student growth and achievement in ELA at all grade levels.
-
Help students in grades 2–12 explore careers and prepare for the future through Smart Future Assignments.
By graduation, we want every Apollo-Ridge student to:
-
Learn about different career paths,
-
Better understand their interests and strengths, and
-
Complete a job-shadow experience and final presentation.
