Core Values
According to Patrick Lencioni, “Core values are the deeply ingrained principles that guide all of a company’s actions; they serve as its cultural cornerstones.”
Gateway Community Charters Core Values were developed across multiple years and many stakeholder groups. The Core Values are reviewed and reaffirmed by the administrators, the Board, and Gateway Community Charters annually. These Core Values drive our daily behaviors, decisions, and actions. We honor and recognize staff who exhibit them on an ongoing and regular basis.
