Realizing the Vision
The District Vision expresses our commitment to meeting the educational needs of all students, our commitment to the implementation of courses aligned with the state content standards, our commitment to support our teachers, and the expectation of continuous performance improvement. To support continued growth, Whittier Union’s Board of Trustees adopted Measurable Targets. These Measurable Targets are actively monitored, providing a consistent metric to guide and evaluate our efforts. The Measurable Targets include the following:

- Percentage of Students completing CSU/UC a-g Requirements
- Percentage of Unique Students in AP Classes
- Percentage of AP Students who take at least one Test
- SBAC and NGSS Participation and Achievement Rates
- On-Target for Graduation Rates
- Combined English Learner Progress Indicator
- Percentage of Student Attendance
- Four-Year Cohort Graduation Rates
- Number of Parents Participating in School Meetings/Events
- Suspension and Expulsion Rates
The key to learning is powerful instruction that is rigorous and relevant to all students. Effective instruction is possible when there is an understanding that rigor is essential for all students, that relevance makes rigor possible, and that strong relationships enable both rigor and relevance in instruction. As our students have grown, we too will grow with a renewed commitment to do Whatever it Takes with intensity, coherence, and focus.
