District Vision Statement

Torrington Public Schools will ensure every student is able to graduate with the skills and attributes that empower them to enter the college or career of their choosing.


Core Beliefs

We believe that all children come to school with natural curiosity, creativity, and potential. Our responsibility, as educators, is to provide experiences which support children to be readers, thinkers, problem-solvers and effective communicators with an understanding of personal and social responsibility. We believe that all of us – the school and the community – must work together in an extended family environment to ensure success for all our students. Families are primary caregivers and educators of young children and are critical partners in all learning. Working together, we can empower children with the creative, intellectual and decision-making skills necessary for them to become academically, socially, physically and emotionally successful, responsible citizens.


Districtwide Expectations 

We are respectful: Take care of self, people, places and things. 

We are responsible: Control our words and actions
