DISTRICT MOTTO (2023-2028):
“Forward. Together.” reinforces our commitment to those we serve and what is expected of each employee. We rely on each other to support the needs of each student and ensure that they grow each month, ultimately achieving their academic and career goals. We progress as a school and a school district, reviewing current practices/outcomes and bringing our collective talents and habits together to improve and adapt to what occurs in dynamically changing times.The motto is influenced by the words of British prime minister Winston Churchill who implored that the people of Great Britain “go forward together” — to build a coalition rather than division toward a unified goal. We felt that the quote was symbolic of our district's work to unite the greater Coeur d'Alene Community behind its schools, staff, and students, focusing on maintaining the quality educational resources that have been relied upon for over a century.
