Mission and Vision
In the Johnston Community School District, we are guided by our vision to create a culture of excellence where students come first, and a mission to 
commit all district resources to guide the learning of all students to graduate as confident learners with character, knowledge, and the skills to excel in any endeavor they pursue.
Strategic Plan
The JCSD Strategic Plan helps us to define our direction, objectives and goals that are in line with our mission and vision. The last Strategic Plan for the Johnston Community School District had goals, action steps and outcomes for 2020-2025.
Developing our plan for the future
In September 2024, the Johnston Community School District began the yearlong process of developing its next Strategic Plan. Working with an organization called Teamworks of Centerville, Minnesota led by Dr. Ray Queener, the district is undergoing a yearlong journey to gather feedback from all stakeholders.
These stakeholders will weigh in about what they would like their desired daily experience to be here in Johnston, what are our district’s strengths and needs, what has been our district’s story of the past, and what we want our story to be in the future.
The goal will be to create a 3-year operational plan for the district and each school that will be updated each year.
