This is a rong term strategic plan that is aligned with creating the world,s best workforce.

This past year we explored possibitities to improve our HVAC here in our buitdlnts. lt was decided to move forward with the proiect at a cost of g7.gs milrion. This wirr replace our currently outdated and inefficient heating system along with adding dehumidification within the school as well, projected work wi begin in the summer of 2024.

We finally ltnished up on a project that has been going on for quite a few years, This past summer we had the rest of our asbestos tile floor abated and replaced. The cafeteda, FAcs room, and hallway to the smafl gym were repraced and now this project has been compreted,

Each year through a 7 year curriculum review cycle we look at curricular needs, Each area of curriculum is studied, e,atuated arigned, setected, implemented, monitored, and anaryzed based on where that subject content lies ln the cirriculum cycle,

This past year the Herman'Norcross school District was able to focus on Science and Health at the high school. New curricutum was serected and purchased through a curricurum investigation and review process.

A continuint goal of the schoot board has been to: "rmprove Ag, FFA, and shop program.,, rt is felt that we are continuing to make those improvements with the hiring of a new instructor and with the help of community volunteers.
