Greencastle-Antrim School District
MASTER PLAN PRIORITIES
GASD Mission
A community invested in empowering our students to strive for excellence to succeed in the future.
GASD Vision
Every student will experience personal success and positively impact the world.
The purpose of this plan is to address the current needs of our district and to provide flexibility to accommodate for future growth and expansion of programs. The plan includes potential construction and improvement projects that may be considered over the next 10 years that align to our district mission and vision. Most importantly, the GASD master plan is intended to consider the academic program as the driver for facility needs and our students’ ability to achieve our GASD Core Competencies upon gradua tion.
Singular Campus Environment GASD is proud of the singular campus environment and seeks to maintain one campus that can accommodate future growth and expansion.
Early Childhood Education Quality pre-kindergarten experiences have been proven to have a positive and high impact on student achievement. Expanding our educational program to include pre- kindergarten must be a consideration in the long-term facilities plan. Tayamentasachta Tayamentasachta Environmental Center is a unique asset to the district and must be maintained for environmental and outdoor education experiences. The barn is a landmark structure for the district and should be included in considerations for potential academic uses. Extra-Curricular Experiences GASD recognizes the value that extra-curricular experiences add to the growth and development of our students. Therefore, the master plan reflects our commitment to facilities that can support and encourage growing participation in arts, interest clubs, student organizations, and athletic/wellness teams.
Safety and Security The health and safety of our students and staff is critical while on campus. Our facilities plan must include efforts to monitor the safety measures in place and continually improve facilities for maximum security possible across the district. Maintain Existing Facilities & Expanding Programs GASD intends to continue to strengthen and expand academic programs aligned to the needs of our students for success post-graduation. Our facilities must accommodate for growth in student population and program expansion by increasing available instructional space (small group and classroom), upgrading furnishings for state-of-the-art science and engineering capabilities.
