Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on August 18, 2022

For many, the start of the school year represents a fresh new beginninga time of goals, reunions, and renewed enthusiasm. For Tucson Hebrew Academy (THA), embarking on its 49th school year is an exciting time to look forward to a future of progress, strength, and growth. It is with this in mind that the THA Board of Trustees recently unveiled a new and updated set of Mission, Vision and Value Statements. These updated statements, which more accurately reflect THAs emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, will direct the ongoing development of Tucsons sole Jewish community day school.

Mission:The Tucson Hebrew Academy is our community Jewish Day School, providing differentiated, exemplary secular and pluralistic Jewish education in a nurturing, supportive environment steeped in Jewish values.

Vision: THA graduates will be critical thinkers, inspired to challenge their intellects, educated to support Israel, and lead lives enriched through Jewish traditions, culture, and wisdom.

Values:

The changes came as a result of over a year of careful study and analysis, in conjunction with surveying more than 25 Jewish day schools, collaborating with THAs Head of School, and integrating feedback given during a faculty listening session. The THA Board of Trustees also formed a task force which went on a listening tour, seeking input from teachers, alumni, alumni parents, and current parents. The new statements will feature prominently in both English and Hebrew on Tucson Hebrew Academys website, slated to undergo an exciting overhaul by the end of this year.
