Overview and Mission
Working together to be stronger together…
Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union (OSSU) serves school age children in the towns of Craftsbury, Greensboro, Hardwick, Stannard, Wolcott and Woodbury. Our schools are a source of pride in our communities. We believe in creating strong student, family, staff, and community partnerships with the goal of providing an education that is relevant and meaningful to each child in our districts. Understanding that our students will be competing on a global level, we aim to offer programs and practices that respect diversity, embrace excellence, promote equity, and encourage lifelong learning. We take our responsibility seriously and appreciate the opportunity to work together to be stronger together in our school communities.
