On May 20, 2009 NCCES launched its 2018 Strategic Plan, the second one in the school's history. The goal of the Strategic Plan was to transition NCCES from a start-up school to a long standing institution. The Strategic Planning committee reviewed the school's mission statement and determined that it should remain unchanged as it continued to guide the work we were doing.
