“Above all, our work is about seeing that all students reach their greatest potential while maintaining wellness and discovering their passions in a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment.”
Gary Thomas Scott, Ed.D. | Governing Board of Education President
Since launching its Portrait of a Graduate in 2020, San Gabriel Unified has been busy putting the community’s vision into practice and bringing it to life for students.
Students have been an integral part of the process the entire way – from serving on the team that developed the six competencies to designing the graphics and writing the descriptions to most recently helping to create the Strategic Plan.
SGUSD has also ensured that teachers were part of the process, including a new honor of “Portrait of an Educator.” Rather than name a Teacher of the Year, the district is honoring teachers who guide students in their Portrait of a Graduate journey and exemplify the competencies with the new Portrait of an Educator designation.
