Thacher’s mission is to train young people in the art of living for their own greatest good and for the greatest good of their fellow citizens in a diverse and changing world.
This requires a constant (re)commitment to the valus of our school—Honor, Fairness, Kindness, and Truth—for each and every member of our community. This dashboard represents that commitment to those values, as well as transparency in the way our school communicates its efforts.
In listening to our alums, and with the partnership of our community (including faculty, staff, and student contributions), we enlisted the help of Hinderlie and Associates to perform a climate assessment of Thacher's practices, culture, and policies. This report was then utilized by the Implementation Committee (eight faculty/staff, four students) to gauge the progress of the work being done at Thacher.
The following is the culmination of all of this effort—a distilled list of areas we continue to work on. This list of goals is not meant to be set in stone, rather it is a tool for accountability that will evolve as we continue our growth as an inclusive space for education. The work never ends, and is a monumental task, but it is work that is always worth doing.
