2023-24 Priorities

The Gilroy Unified School District is focused on building safe and inclusive schools where the culture reflects trust, respect, empathy and accountability. The mental health and social emotional well being of our students is at the core of our instructional model. We firmly believe that the physical, mental and social-emotional well-being of children is connected to their academic achievement. This year, our priorities are:

  • Create rigorous and innovative learning spaces that deepen students' conceptual understanding
  • Build inclusive and safe schools that prioritize mental health and social-emotional well being of all
  • Maximize resources that provide equitable student support to achieve successful post-secondary outcomes
