being marginalized. We look for ways to eliminate inequities inside
and outside of Clayton. 2. Operate with integrity. We adhere to the

community places in us. 3. Demonstrate bold humility. We
courageously drive toward our vision, while embracing humility that
favors substance over sizzle, that accepts feedback in the spirit
of growth, views vulnerability as a path to truth, and seeks impact
for our families, not for recognition. 4. Strive for excellence.
Each day we bring our best selves and our best work to our
community, creating a positive impact for our families and each
other. We value continuous learning and improvement for ourselves
and our work. 5. Innovate through collaboration. We energize the
