At Bright Local Schools, we are embarking on an exciting journey to redefine what success looks like for our students in the 21st century. Our Portrait of a Graduate reflects a shared vision of the essential skills and traits our students need to thrive.

This program will serve as our "North Star" for transforming the educational experience—empowering our students to excel in a complex and rapidly changing world. Now, we need your voice!

We invite students, parents/guardians, teachers, graduates, community members, and all stakeholders to share your insights and help shape Bright Local Schools. Your input will guide us as we develop a roadmap for the future, ensuring that every graduate is equipped to succeed.

Please take a moment to complete our survey and provide your valuable feedback. Together, we can ensure that Bright Local Schools continues to foster the skills and qualities that our students need to succeed!

Thank you for being a vital part of this important initiative!
