What is Graduate Profile?
A Students' Learning Journey
From kindergarten through graduation, students learn, practice, and reflect on their growth in these seven Graduate Profile skills. They build confidence in who they are today, and ownership of who they are becoming in the future.
Each skill includes related indicators that grow more complex as students progress through grade levels. These skills are intentionally woven into daily learning and connect directly to the needs of our local community and workforce.

Graduate Profile Spotlights
Bay Harbor Student Entrepreneurs
Bay Harbor Elementary fourth graders designed food truck meals inspired by the NFL Draft. They pitched their ideas in a Shark Tank style competition! Judges provided feedback, asked questions, and decided which food truck had the best concept, creativity, and business potential to actually be sold at the NFL Draft in partnership with Captain Quesadilla Co.! We are so proud of these talented, creative, and brave students. View photos here.
