  • Brewster Vision 2026   

    In Brewster, we believe that in order to be informed and engaged global citizens, students need the skills of critical and creative thinking, collaboration, communication, perseverance, civic responsibility and adaptability. Vision 2026 aims to establish strong structural supports in the areas of academic programming, student well-being, the learning environment, community partners and human resources that foster these 21st century skills.

    Success in the 21st century takes many forms. With this in mind, the Brewster Central School District began updating its five-year strategic plan during the 2021-2022 school year. Dozens of stakeholders including students, staff, parents, Board of Education trustees, community partners and administrators worked together to envision the next leg of Brewster’s educational journey. A Strategic Planning team of 30 members was responsible for synthesizing and communicating the district’s vision, while Action Teams comprising about 50 people focused on discrete areas. Brewster Vision 2026 would not have been possible without the insight, dedication and input of all of the participants from the Strategic Planning Team and Action Teams. We invite you to learn more about our findings, hopes and plans for the future.
