Strategic Planning

Frankfort School District 157-C (FSD 157-C) has long been recognized as an outstanding district in the state of Illinois. Experienced staff members, high-achieving students, supportive family members, comprehensive school programs, and the District’s history of financial stability lay the foundation to continue our tradition of excellence. 
 
We are committed to providing enriching learning opportunities and cultivating social-emotional and academic skills to propel students into the future. To further advance this important work, we began a strategic planning process in January 2022 with the involvement of students, staff, parents, and community members. 
 
We are pleased to share the outcome of these efforts by presenting the District’s revised Mission and Vision, Student Profile of Success, and Strategic Plan.
