Leadership Principles

Ownership: We own the responsibility to make our schools great. We think about the long-term success and health of our schools and our company. We pick up the gum wrapper on the playground. No task is beneath us.

Deserved Trust: Our words and actions reinforce a web of trust between our students, our families and our community, and between teammates. We are reliable. We see things through to completion. We know that transparency builds trust.

Win as a Team: We are one team. Our mission is more important than individual success. Collaboration, communication and team problem solving are essential to succeed as a team. We celebrate our success.

Continuous Learning and Improvement: We seek and embrace opportunities to learn and improve as individuals and as an organization.

Listen: Our students, families and staff are incredibly smart and have high standards. If we listen carefully, they will tell us what they want. It is up to us to deliver.

Prioritize and Focus: We identify the most important thing to work on toward our Mission. We focus and complete tasks with appropriate urgency.

Hire and Develop the Best: We hire A players we admire and who increase the average capabilities of Spring. We invest in our people through professional development and mentorship.

High Standards: We have high standards for our instruction and educational outcomes and student experiences that we deliver in our schools. We have high standards for how we behave and how we operate. We don’t compromise on quality.

Financial Discipline: We focus our resources on our schools and students, and those who support them.

Take Initiative: We lead the way to create change and positively impact our schools.

Adaptability: We embrace situational changes that call for new ideas. We adapt, remain objective and integrate new points of view.
