Webster Central School District Mission
The Mission of the Webster Central School District is to provide an environment in which all students achieve success and become productive citizens.
Strategic Planning Initiative
The Webster Central School District engaged in a strategic planning initiative during the 2010-2011 school year. With the help of PLC Associates, Inc., a local consulting firm, a core team of administrators, teachers, students, parents, business leaders, and community residents pursued an ambitious agenda that resulted in a final report that was presented to the Board of Education in workshop setting on May 26 and was accepted by the board during its June 2 business meeting.
