A
Message From Dr. Terry N. Bishop, Superintendent of School District 11
THE WORLD HAS
CHANGED. MEET THE FUTURE!
Dear Friends and
Neighbors of School District 11,
As superintendent
of schools in School District 11, I am excited about the new direction
in our district and all of the outstanding programs we can offer.
Everyone involved in our district, from students and staff to
administrators and the Board of Education, is excited about all the
positive academic success taking place in our schools.
Technology, media
and globalization mean a world changing at an unprecedented pace – and
in ways it never has before. Vast amounts of information are rapidly
and readily available; automation and digitization are increasing;
global mobility and competition are on the rise; social, political and
economic landscapes are shifting dramatically. Tomorrow is an era of
new industries and a more demanding workplace; in fact, when our current
school-age children move into the workforce, many will enter jobs yet to
be established or even envisioned.
District 11 must
meet the demands of today and foresee the demands of the future. Not
only does our children’s potential depend on it; the well-being and
viability of our entire community hinge on our ability to do so.
Colorado Springs
School District 11 is meeting the demands of the 21st century
by developing “21st Century Learners.” Our talented, award-winning
teachers and educational programs drive exceptional academic preparation
for our students – preschool through 12th grade. Our focus on cultural
competency and civic responsibility equips students to navigate and
influence a shifting world. Our innovative programs generate class
after class of inventive problem-solvers, practiced communicators,
skilled collaborators and expert users of technology.
School District 11
provides education that equips students for today and for tomorrow.
It’s learning for lifelong success. We invite you to join our family.
Dr. Terry N.
