Harborfields Central School District

STARTING WITH WHY AT HARBORFIELDS
In his bestselling book, Start With Why, Simon Sinek describes the importance of organizations being able to articulate and communicate their “WHY” which is their purpose, their cause, their belief. Our WHY is found in our vision to serve Each Child, Each Day, as One Harborfields Family. This simple statement, supported by the District’s Mission Statement, guides all decisions that are made as we endeavor toward a future where our vision is fully realized. It is only as One Harborfields Family that we can make our vision a reality.

When you visit our schools, you will see our facilities, our classrooms, our curriculum, and our programs. These are all vital aspects of our operation, but they do not get at the heart of WHY we do WHAT we do. This is WHY we set out to develop the Harborfields Strategic Plan through an inclusive process that involves all constituents. The Harborfields Strategic Plan represents just one aspect of HOW we will get to our collective vision for the future. As depicted in the model below, it all starts from the inside out. It all starts with WHY!

We thank the members of our community, our staff, and, most of all, our students for joining us on this journey!
