The Vestavia Way strategic plan for Vestavia Hills City Schools aims to align long-term priorities with daily operations to ensure every student learns without limits. It is anchored by four core values: excellence, character, community, and safety, and outlines four key strategic goals: Student Experience, Employee Engagement, Family & Community Partnerships, and Stewardship & Support. These goals focus on fostering academic achievement and personal growth, cultivating a professional and collaborative employee culture, building strong community relationships, and ensuring responsible resource management and operational effectiveness.
