It is our mission to lay the foundation for all students to achieve maximum success now and throughout life. Towards this effort, the Ukiah Unified School District implements practices which include all members of our organization in “unity of purpose”. This means we value and include the thoughts and opinions of parents and students, teachers and classified personnel, administrators and board members as we assess, plan and implement programs. In addition, we work closely with community members and community agencies to enhance the learning experience. Honoring and considering these varying points of view serves to strengthen our efforts toward the common goal of “success for all students“.
