Superintendent's Message - May 2025

Dear SUSD Families,

As we welcome May, there’s a shared sense of momentum across our campuses. State testing has wrapped up and our high school students now shift their focus to AP and IB exams and finals. 

Our theme this year has been Elevate Excellence: Reaching New Heights Together, and it has been fun to see our stakeholders lean into that. 

One of the most rewarding parts of this season is the chance to celebrate the many awards, performances, and recognitions that highlight our students' excellence in academics, arts, athletics, and service. From National Merit and other scholarship programs to robotics competitions, art shows to orchestra concerts, the pursuit of state championship athletic titles to community impact, there is so much to be proud of in SUSD.
