The Colorado River Union High School District is building a Culture of Achievement for All. Creating a culture of Achievement for All is built on a foundation of continuous improvement and life-long learning for both students and adults. During the 2022-2023 school year a Guiding Coalition of teachers and school leaders participated in a process of defining a vision of what the CRUHSD community ought to be. The Vision and Values that resulted from this process articulate the goal of what it is we hope to become as a school community. Our Vision and Values are reflected in a series of collective commitments from our teachers and school leaders. It is our vision for the future.
We are collectively committed to creating a Professional Learning Community and our focus will shift from what is being taught to what our students are learning.
