Forward 2030: Building What’s Next is the new five-year strategic plan for Moraine Park Technical College. It’s a path forward; a path with our mission, vision and values at its center and four new strategic priorities to lead the way.
At Moraine Park, it’s about the people, as our new plan reflects. Moraine Park is an impactful place to work and grow—with more than 400 team members and thousands of students. Moraine Park has locations in Beaver Dam, Horicon, Fond du Lac and West Bend—all to serve students, business and industry partners, and community members across our 10-county district.
Forward 2030, which begins with the 2025-26 academic year and continues through 2030, will focus on serving, nurturing, partnering and engaging, with outlined objectives under each new priority.
Developing Forward 2030 was a year-long, collaborative process for the College that included input from business leaders, parents, students, community-based organizations and employees, and I look forward to the continued success of Moraine Park with new priorities at the forefront.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Baerwald
