A review and evaluation
process led the Curriculum and Instruction Division to make necessary
modifications to its program activities. This was in an effort to address
constant changes taking place within our school district. Out of this
process, the division had formulated a new vision and mission. In line
with achieving this, progressive steps are being taken in meeting goals
and objectives, strategies and action plans that support the district's

The Guam Public School System is committed to providing the support
structures that will allow all students to succeed based on local
guidelines, the District Action Plan and the No Child Left Behind Act.
