The Campbell Union High School District's strategic planning process involved teachers, administrators and other school employees, students, parents, representatives from each of our partner elementary districts, and members of the local business community. Its charge was to develop a plan to focus district personnel and resources in such a way as to provide the most for our students in terms of safety, quality of education and breadth of experience.
