USDD Graduate Profile

Who is a graduate of the Unified School District of De Pere?

USDD is committed to preparing students to function effectively in an interdependent global community. The Graduate Profile identifies 8 attributes that, in addition to core academic knowledge, each student will develop by the time they graduate from De Pere High School. It is the culmination of learning that begins in the earliest grades to build competency in each attribute.

The USDD Learning Continuum describes by grade level how the attributes are integrated with overall student learning.

The Graduate Profile and Learning Continuum were established with input from parents, students, teachers, community members, representatives of business and industry, and representatives of higher education. The 8 character attributes are described below.
