The Triton Profile of a Graduate defines the essential skills and competencies students need for success in college, career, and life. Created through a community-driven process, it serves as a guide for educational planning and a shared vision for student, parents, and staff.
This winter, we will focus on INTEGRITY + DEPENDABILITY, emphasizing clear classroom expectations, modeling, and activities that help students strengthen this essential skill.
Our second Profile of a Graduate Program is December 12, 2025.

Triton Families,
As a reminder, the Triton Capital Project Levy vote is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4. We are conducting this election based on our current financial situation. We surveyed district residents this summer, and the majority were in favor of the $650,000/Year for ten years tax increase. That is why we followed through and are asking for approval for this amount.

-
Technology Investments - Staff and student devices, network upgrades, instructional technology, online curriculum, technology staff, and intervention resources.
-
Curricular Investments - Updated textbooks and materials.
-
Facility Improvements - Deferred maintenance needs throughout the facility.
-
Transportation Updates - Replacement of aging buses and vans to ensure a safe, efficient transportation fleet.
|
Approval would provide critical funding to support school technology, curriculum, deferred maintenance, and transportation.
If you have additional questions after reviewing the website, you can also contact Mr. Lutterman or attend one of the upcoming Levy Informational Meetings.
Thank you! Together #WeAreTriton
