In partnership with families and community, we prepare all students to achieve college, career, and life readiness through a challenging and progressive educational experience.

2025-2030 Strategic Plan
In February of 2025, work began on creating a new Strategic Plan to guide Caroline County Public Schools through purposeful, continuous improvement that would serve our students through 2030. Given that the current Strategic Plan goals remain overarching and essential to student success, they continued to be at the forefront of the plan. Four separate committees wrote new objectives and strategies for each goal. The draft plan was then viewed by the CCPS Administrators and Supervisors group, the Citizens Advisory Committee and the School System Improvement Council, and staff and families via a survey. The feedback provided was incorporated into the plan which was then approved by the Board of Education.
