Dear Students, Families, and Community Members,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We are thrilled to welcome back our students, families, and dedicated staff for what promises to be an extraordinary year. There is nothing quite like the energy, possibilities, and fresh start of a new school year.
As we step into this new year, we will build on the momentum of the past year:
- More than 1,100 Class of 2026 graduates earned the Golden State Seal Merit Diploma by demonstrating academic excellence across ELA, math, science, U.S. history, and elective subjects.
- Earning recognition for multilingual proficiency, 622 recent graduates (about 30% of the Class of 2026) received the California State Seal of Biliteracy based on rigorous coursework and assessment standards in English and a secondary language.
- Our District expanded dual enrollment and Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathway opportunities, giving more students access to college credit and hands-on, real-world experience. Last year, 520 students completed at least one CTE pathway, preparing them for success in both college and career.
- Demonstrating strong performance countywide, CUHSD maintained a "green" rating across every category on the California School Dashboard
