What Does It Mean to Be a Coatesville Graduate?

The Coatesville Area School District is developing its Portrait of a Graduate, a shared vision of the skills, qualities, and experiences we want every CASD student to develop or have the opportunity to participate in before graduation.

Last night, a team of district stakeholders came together to discuss important skills and characteristics, including communication, critical thinking, independence, leadership, resilience, and perseverance. These conversations will help guide our efforts to prepare students for success in school, careers, and life.

Interested in being part of this work? We welcome community members who would like to join the committee! Please contact Becky Daugherty at daughertyr@casdschools.org for more information.

Together, we're Building the Future for Student Success!
