🌟📚✨ Setting the Stage for a Purposeful Year

As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, we are proud to start by centering our work on a powerful message from Superintendent Frank Miranda. He reminds us of our shared commitment to “Serving With Purpose, Together as One District” and how this guiding theme impacts every corner of our community.

Superintendent Miranda emphasized that serving with purpose means being intentional in the way we support students, staff, and families. It’s about leading with compassion, collaborating across all schools, and ensuring every decision is grounded in equity and access.

💫 Together, we are setting the tone for a school year rooted in equity, unity, purpose, and collective strength. As one district, we move forward with a clear focus: to inspire success, cultivate belonging, and uplift every learner in Colton Joint Unified.
