Who We Are

The mission of the San Francisco Unified School District is to provide each student with an equal opportunity to succeed by promoting intellectual growth, creativity, self-discipline, cultural and linguistic sensitivity, democratic responsibility, economic competence, and physical and mental health so that each student can achieve his or her maximum potential.

Our three primary goals focus on closing the achievement gap and diminishing the predictive power of demographics:

• Access and Equity: We will make social justice a reality by ensuring every student has access to quality teaching and learning.
• Achievement: We will ensure that every student graduates from high school ready for college and career success in the 21st century.
• Accountability: We will keep our promises to students and families and enlist everyone in the community to join us.
