Board of Education Goals

Our Graduate Profile

Each year, an average of 700 students graduate from district high schools. The DJUSD Graduate Profile defines 21st Century Learning by specifying the six outcomes that we, as a community, believe are important for student success in college, career, and beyond. These competencies are critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, civic and cultural awareness, adaptability and resilience, collaboration, and communication. In order to achieve these six outcomes, the Strategic Planning committee included one of the four goals adopted into the 2023 plan to design actions centered around the Graduate Profile. Learn more about Strategic Plan Goal 4.
