Mission Statement

The mission of SMUSD is to create and maintain a learning environment that fosters in students the ability to make choices based upon well reasoned strategies; to develop the capacity to respond and adapt to changing circumstances and worldly environments; to gain an appreciation for learning as a lifelong process and to gain the skills and knowledge necessary for a diverse, ever changing world.

San Marino High School will provide the fundamentals of literacy, communication, and mathematical applications for students to succeed in their later studies and/or working lives.  School personnel will partner with parents and the community to maximize resources necessary to provide students a quality education in a supportive and positive climate.  Students will develop global awareness, civic responsibility and critical thinking skills to respond and adapt to the changes of the 21st century.

Purpose

The fundamental purpose of the SMUSD is to encourage each student to develop his/her intellectual, social, and personal qualities in order to participate fully in an interconnected community – be it local or global.
