NARRATIVE
Strategic Vision for Educational Excellence The Strafford School District has undertaken the 2025 master planning process as part of its commitment to fostering a thriving educational environment for students, staff, and the broader community. This process serves as a roadmap to navigate the district’s future challenges and opportunities, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively and that the district remains prepared to meet the evolving needs of education. In 2013, Strafford School District developed a master plan to enhance campus security and expand classroom spaces. All promised projects have been completed along with additional renovations funded by prudent planning. Since the 2013 Master Plan, the following projects have occurred: • New 69,000 sq ft Elementary School • New Secure Entrances at the High School and the Middle School • Relocation of the District Offices from a trailer to the High School Building • New Entrance to the Gymnasium • New Ticket booth and entrance to the football stadium • Secure entrance at the north side of high school • New Hyper Activities and Athletic Facility with classroom spaces
• Science Classroom renovations • Library Renovation and Expansion
• New FEMA storm shelter and Dining area at High School • Early Childhood Center renovations and classroom additions • The addition of approximately 200 student parking spaces
The School District has again hired Buxton Kubik Dodd Design Collective to create a vision and a plan for the next ten years. The master planning initiative was developed to address key objectives such as continued improvements to the educational facilities, enhancing student outcomes, and embracing innovative teaching methodologies. The process is comprehensive, involving input from educators, parents, students, and community stakeholders. By creating a participatory and transparent planning framework, the district aims to uphold its values of collaboration and inclusivity. FACILITY UPGRADES One of the central aspects of the 2025 plan is the continued modernization of school facilities. Upgrades include the installation of advanced technology systems, improvements in accessibility, and the creation of flexible learning spaces designed to accommodate various teaching styles.
