We are guided to our Vision that St'uminus mustimuxw (our people) lead the way on our journey as life-long learned by four principles: snuwuyulh (sacred teachings) — mustimuxw tsi'tsu watul (helping each other) — nu sti’ch (love) — nutsamaat (together as one) Our Strategic Plan's Provocative Propositions: St'uminusqun (our language) is at the core of our being. Being able to speak, read, write and understand hul’q'umi'num in our daily lives connects us to the land, our ancestors, and their teachings. — All learning is done in intimate relationship with the land. The land is the source of our strength, our language and culture. Learning in a reciprocal relationship with the land keeps us strong and connected. — We heal, hope, and love one another. Our snuwuyulh teach that we are one and, by sharing our gilts with each other, we learn and grow together. — We reflect on how we are learning and growing and know that SES creates powerful learning environments that provide us with the skills and knowledge necessary for us to pursue our dreams. We know learning helps us, our families, and our communities.
