Superintendent's Office

Dear Gilroy Unified School District Families,

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! I hope you had a wonderful summer and took time to rest and rejuvenate. With the school year being rushed for everyone, it is so important to pause and spend time doing things that bring us joy. This is also the perfect time to reflect and plan ahead.

As we begin another year, I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead of us. Our commitment to provide learning spaces where every student can learn, explore, create, and grow remains steadfast. We are continually reviewing and revising our programs and practices to ensure that we are preparing students for successful futures and providing opportunities for them to reach their full potential.

Our goals for this year remain the same, as we strive to become better and stronger:

• 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

This year, we will continue our focus on developing a strong academic program that prepares students for college and career. The mental and emotional well being of students remains a priority since we understand how critical that is to their academic success. Our staff is dedicated to building a safe and inclusive school culture that promotes kindness, acceptance, respect and cooperation. I am looking forward to an amazing year and I invite all of you to join us as partners. Through our collective efforts, we can build the most exciting learning experience for our students. I encourage you to join your parent clubs and councils so you can provide your voices in shaping our schools.

I look forward to seeing all of you at school and community events.

My best,

Anisha Munshi, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Gilroy Unified School District
