SPPS Achieves is Saint Paul Public Schools’ district-wide strategic plan that sets goals for student achievement, guides decision-making, and focuses our efforts on long-term outcomes. This plan was created in 2018 and was adjusted in 2021 to include efforts to improve student outcomes after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Inspire students to think critically, pursue their dreams and change the world.
The SPPS Achieves Strategic Plan is shaped through six long-term student outcomes. These are key areas of achievement we want to improve in order to raise the performance of all students.
