We actively engaged stakeholders from all over the district in developing our Journey of a Graduate. This collective vision articulates our community’s aspirations for each and every student in Belton ISD.
We invited multiple voices and perspectives to join our design team, a group of community members, students and staff, who shared ongoing input and together informed our Journey of a Graduate. Our design team met four times, with each meeting built upon the other.

The design team will draft a prioritized set of competencies, including 21st Century skills, mindsets and literacies.
Draft visuals that convey a compelling story.
Discuss this work in the broader community and elicit ideas.
