VCUSD's Mission, Vision, Value and Goals

Our Vision is for our diverse learners to be empowered, prepared and equipped with academic and life skills needed to be productive citizens, who can positively contribute to society.

Our Goal is for every student to have clear attainable pathways to career and/or college success.

In Support of our Vision, we will attract and retain highly qualified staff, as well as, leverage community resources to provide support systems for all students and their families.

Our Mission is to meet or exceed our goals in the area of equity, excellence, educational effectiveness and economic sustainability which determines our daily efforts.  We will foster collaborative teamwork to accomplish these goals.  We recognize that we must build powerful home to school relationships that support the success of all students.  Because safety is critical for each school campus; we will enforce high adult visibility and respond to student matters in a timely manner.
