About
Nestled in the beautiful valleys and mountains of Southern Vermont, between Brattleboro and Bennington, WSWSU serves five rural school districts across Windham and Bennington Counties including the towns of Wilmington, Halifax, Whitingham, Readsboro Stamford, and Searsburg. We collectively strive towards academic excellence and educational success for all of our students. WSWSU does this by creating pathways for our students to become powerful communicators, critical thinkers, and collaborators who use empathy and take responsibility for relationships, lifelong learning, and adaptability in our changing world.
The WSWSU is committed to discovering and cultivating the unique gifts, talents, and interests that every student possesses regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, family economics, class, geography, ability, age, language, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
We condemn hate and harm toward any member of our school community.
We acknowledge that we are responsible for creating a culture of belonging in school in which every child feels that their voice matters and will be heard. We believe every student’s success depends upon this.
We will work to provide our students with the skills and knowledge to create a more just and inclusive community and society.
We commit to taking action to recognize and address hateful and biased actions, and to repair harms in ways that are restorative, and focused on student support and education.
We commit to addressing the systems that contribute to unjust outcomes for students. To do so, we work to change inequitable practices and to educate and communicate in ways that create inclusive, welcoming school environments.
