The Harwood Unified Union School District is dedicated to providing an educational environment that fosters the growth and development of every student. We strive to empower learners and shape futures through a commitment to excellence in proficiency-based education.
Our students are proficient, resilient readers, writers, and problem solvers. Our students are curious, creative, confident, collaborative and compassionate. Our students are prepared for the post-secondary plan of their choice.
When we have a system that ensures all students from PK through grade 12 …
…then we will have created an educational ecosystem where each student can flourish and become a capable, confident, and compassionate member of an ever-changing world.
By the time students reach for their diploma, they will have achieved high levels of proficiency in our district’s six Learning Expectations
