Mission and Vision Statements
Mission Statement
John J. Duggan Academy will provide a rigorous academic program that fosters character, inquiry, reflection and a mastery of learning standards through Expeditionary Learning core practices.
Vision Statement
John J. Duggan Academy is an Expeditionary Learning community dedicated to upholding high academic expectations through authentic learning experiences. Duggan students are prepared for high school and beyond by attaining academic success and demonstrating exemplary character. Our graduates are responsible, inspired and compassionate contributors to our ever-changing world.
Equity Statement
Equity exists in our schools when all educators, students, and families, regardless of race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, and other identifiers, have unimpeded access to inclusive learning and working environments characterized by high quality instruction, rich systems of support, robust information, and differentiated opportunities that contribute to their personal growth and academic success. We are beginning to raise awareness of bias and systematically work to dismantle the policies and institutional practices that are inherently racist and inequitable.”
All three schools, Duggan, Kennedy and The Academy at Kiley, are part of the Empowerment Zone and are aligned in their beliefs with the commitment to being Anti-Racist within our institutions.
