Northwest Classen Belief Statements:

1. We believe all decisions should be consistent with our mission and goals, be data based, be anchored in sound theory and practice, and be focused on what is best for the short and long term interests of all students.
2. We believe all decisions should be made at the most appropriate level in the organization and should be as close to the point of implementation as possible. The competency and commitment levels of those involved will help determine the appropriate level.
