Our vision is a community where all students are inspired to explore their passions, develop their talents, and achieve their highest potential.

Our vision aligns with The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has outlined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The MGREC’s mission and vision align with several of these goals:

As a committee of educators and community leaders, we understand the importance of partnerships in achieving our mission. This aligns with Goal 17, which aims to “strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development”
