Steps ForwardSteps to Continue Excellence and Advance the School
1. Vision Clarification: The Board should clearly decide if Cary Academy wants to be an excellent school for Triangle students that uses technology effectively to advance student learning and occasionally shares its innovative technology use with colleagues, or does Cary Academy want to be an excellent school for Triangle students that wants to continually be on the forefront of innovative instructional technology use and serve as a national model? Presently we are somewhere in the middle of this continuum and are staffed as such.
2. Teaching and Learning: Continue working on this strategic goal.To prepare students for their futures, Cary Academy will be a leader in
teaching and learning enhanced by the creative and effective use of emerging technologies.
This will strengthen our effective use of instructional technology throughout the school and formally and effectively align our teaching with our mission. It will continue to differentiate Cary Academy from its private and public competition.

Steps Forward
3. Facilities: Build a second performing arts center (has been on long -range facilities plan). This would allow for continued development of our outstanding arts program, enable us to attract additional
exceptional students and faculty, and enhance our community ties in the arts. Build the field house at the stadium (also on long-range facilities plan). Meets operational needs of our athletic program.
