The Gates Chili Board of Education believes it is the purpose of the Gates Chili Central Schools to provide a sound education for every student it serves.  Recognizing this, our mission statement is: 

Each day we create the right conditions for learning.

Our mission must be addressed through a shared vision that is based on the belief that we must establish healthy and caring relationships with every student we serve, as well as with staff, parents and the community at large.  The content we teach must be relevant to the learner and rigorous in its expectations.

The District’s Mission and Vision are driven by values that guide decision-making and behavior expectations for everyone.  We define those values as, “The Spartan Way”.  The four values within “The Spartan Way” are: Respect, Responsibility, Compassion and Hard Work.

The right conditions for learning are described by the four "Dimensions" of the District's Quality School Rubric (QSR): Student Success, Learning Environment, Educational Program and School Culture.  The Dimensions and the related 23 "Elements” are intended to provide purposeful direction for and the assessment of the efforts needed to accomplish the District’s Mission and Vision through a management philosophy based upon The Spartan Way.
