The Bellingham Promise

Bellingham Public Schools, working in partnership with our community, engaged in the development of The Bellingham Promise our strategic plan. We continue to improve The Bellingham Promise collaboratively, so that our vision, mission, values, outcomes and work priorities are always owned by students, staff, families, and our greater Bellingham community. 

Our Mission

We collectively commit that our students are cared for and respected, and that they will graduate from our schools prepared for success. All students will be exceptional in their own way, with strong character, a passion for learning, and ready for the widest range of educational and vocational options to support a diversity of life choices.
