The company states:

The mission of the White River School District is clear and succinct: “Ensuring high levels of learning for each student preparing them for successes beyond high school.”  At White River High School, we have approached this philosophy by shifting our mindset from a system of teaching to a system of learning.  As we began to embed this learning mission into our daily work, we asked ourselves, “What would this look like if we really meant it?”  Creating a collaborative culture was achieved by establishing and supporting high-performing teams focused on the right work, at the right time, and doing it in the right way, ensuring each team is continually improving.

As of Sept. 26, 2021, the superintendent of White River School District was featured as an available speaker on the official website of the consulting firm.
