Vision

ABC Unified School District envisions a community where every student experiences a supportive and empowering educational journey and each staff member has the experience, training, and support they need to ensure all students learn in an engaging educational environment. We are committed to a holistic approach to developing student learners who are:

  1. Collaborative Problem Solvers: Students who can work well with others by contributing ideas, listening, integrating perspectives, negotiating roles, sharing responsibilities, and fostering a cooperative environment.
  2. Effective Communicators: Students who can clearly and confidently express ideas, tailor their style to the audience, listen actively, and engage in meaningful dialogue, using appropriate language, tone, and non-verbal cues.
  3. Empathetic and Conscientious Leaders: Students who can understand and share others' feelings, show compassion and respect, create an inclusive environment, lead with integrity, inspire peers, make thoughtful decisions, and contribute positively to their school community.

Core Values

We believe in the importance of fostering a love of learning in both students and staff, and to nurture curiosity beyond the classroom. This helps prepare students to be adaptable, innovative, and engaged citizens through strong academic preparation and knowledge of opportunities.

 

We believe in the value of diversity and inclusivity, fostering a welcoming environment where every student and staff member feels respected and empowered to act intentionally, building relationships that support and help navigate long-term aspirations.

 

We believe in the power of forging strong partnerships between schools, families, and the broader community to create a support network that enhances student learning and builds resilience in every student and staff member, utilizing collective resources to break down barriers that may limit opportunities.
