J.U. Blacksher School, like all schools in the Monroe County School System, follows a six-part strategic plan. The plan is as follows:
- To foster a positive culture and climate that promotes optimal learning and responsible citizenship.
- To provide a rigorous and relevant curriculum that prepares all students to be college and/or career ready.
- To utilize the 21st Century tools and instructional strategies that support learning and equip students to be globally competitive.
- To engage parents, community, business, and industry in meaningful relationships that lead to increased student achievement.
- To provide safe, accessible, and well-maintained buildings and grounds that promote pride and create a healthy environment for teaching and learning.
- To implement strategies and initiatives that increase on-time graduation.
