When we think about the task of running, one aspect that continues to stay relevant is how individualism meets collectivism. In the sport of cross country, athletes can be conflicted between running a personal best time versus packing up with teammates. When athletes find balance, the overall success of the team will always prevail. DANIEL BURNETT

Strategic Plan Committee Chair
When I was asked by the Chairman of the Board John Davis to serve as chair of the strategic planning committee, one primary question came to mind. If our objective in preparing a strategic plan was simply to “check the box” to meet our accreditation requirement, I was not interested. If, however, the interest in preparing a strategic plan was to create a true guide for a five-year plan to improve our school, I would be interested. I posed this question to Lawrence Coco and was overwhelmingly convinced that he not only wanted to have a viable strategic plan but that he wanted to be sure it addressed the major challenges that Prep, along with most independent schools, is facing.
Lawrence and I were privileged to sit in on many of the subcommittee meetings as they hashed through the tough issues we are dealing with. It was heartwarming to see how engaged these sub-committee members were—all serving selflessly with the objective of making Jackson Prep better than it is today. We are pleased to have completed the plan and anticipate with great excitement achieving the goals and objectives set forth in the plan as they become realities.
You can see how we are meeting our Strategic Plan goals, which are listed below, by referring to the color-coded lines across the top of the following pages.
