Our Purpose

LEARNING • CARING • COMMUNITY

At McKitrick, we are a learning, caring, community. These words describe the kind of school we are building together and what we want for every student who walks through our doors. We believe every student deserves to have a voice, feel supported and capable, and develop the skills they need to grow, shape their future, and contribute to their community. Our purpose is bigger than success in any one subject. We want students to leave McKitrick knowing themselves as learners, confident in their ideas, able to communicate their thinking, advocate for what they need, and prepared for what comes next. Learning means helping students become thoughtful, capable and confident learners. Caring means building relationships where students feel known, supported and safe enough to take risks, make mistakes and grow. Community means recognizing that every student belongs to all of us, regardless of grade or classroom, and that we share responsibility for their success. This purpose comes to life through the everyday work of our staff: listening to students, responding with patience and respect, maintaining high expectations, adapting to individual strengths and needs, working together when students need support, and taking the time to understand each student's identity, experiences and circumstances. These everyday moments, big and small, are all part of the same story. Together, we are building a school where every student has a voice, knows they are capable, and has the skills and confidence to shape their future
