Welcome to Mead Vision

Bestselling author, speaker, and pastor John Maxwell once said, “Discontent with the status quo is a great catalyst for vision.”

And so it was for a group of parents and citizens in the fall of 2022. The Mead School Board had just voted against proposals that would have shielded our students from the depredations of Critical Race Theory and Gender Theory in our schools. However, long before that, many of us were already alarmed at the drift away from academic excellence toward the inculcation of group think.

As a result, we came together with a shared vision to restore to our schools those qualities that foster achievement, independence, and character formation. We are determined to remove the false ideologies that stand in the way.

While our vision for righting the ship, so to speak, of our local schools is important, it is only the beginning. The pages on this website are meant to inform, exhort, and persuade. Above all, it is an exposition of the principles that guide our strategy and our mission.

And so we say to parents who want something better for their children, to the community members who expect a higher return on their investment, and to the teachers and administrators who have quietly despaired over the politicization of their profession, welcome to Mead Vision.
