Strategic Planning Discussion
Discussion around branding - NOT a rebrand, but a refresh. Focused on STEM School Highlands Ranch, will take out the K for now and plan to refresh logo later.
Discussion around school colors, website color palette. Are we changing our school colors? No, school colors will remain blue and gold. We are trying to get to the point where we are getting to more consensus.
Timeline: January 2025 for website
Discussion around mission/vision, values, tagline, focus, elevator, fundraising pillars.
