Superintendent's Message - May 2026
Dear SUSD,
As we enter the final weeks of the 2025–2026 school year, I am filled with gratitude. Our students, staff, and families have worked together to create meaningful momentum in the classroom and the community, embracing new AI Guidelines and helping shape our district landscape for years to come.
This is a special time of year as we prepare to celebrate the Class of 2026. Graduation on May 21 marks a milestone not only for our seniors, but for the educators and families who have supported them every step of the way. To our graduates, congratulations! We are proud of who you are and who you are becoming.
I also want to recognize all students who will be promoting to the next level. Your hard work, resilience, and growth matter. And to our parents and staff, thank you for being there through both the triumphs and the trying times. Your partnership is what makes SUSD strong.
