The GPPSD Committment

Our Mission

The Grande Prairie Public School District is a learning community in which every student succeeds.

Universal Guiding Principles

For everything we decide and do, we will hold ourselves accountable and we will ask:

Is it good for students?
Will it help build trust and good relationships?
Will it help us improve?
Is it a responsible thing to do?
Are we being open, honest and ethical?

District Goals for 2010-2011
