At Glendale Union High School District, education extends beyond academics. Our Portrait of a Graduate represents a comprehensive, student-centered vision that guides everything we do from classroom instruction to extracurricular engagement and community partnerships.

This vision is more than a set of aspirations; it is a clear roadmap that defines the essential skills, mindsets, and competencies students need to thrive in college, career, and life. Rooted in collaboration with educators, families, community members, and local industry leaders, the Portrait of a Graduate reflects our shared commitment to ensuring every student is fully prepared for the opportunities and challenges of the future.

The Portrait outlines key attributes we aim to develop in every graduate, including academic excellence, creative problem solving, literacy, communication and collaboration, character and community, and critical thinking. These attributes are intentionally integrated into our curriculum and programs, fostering a learning environment where students are inspired to grow and pursue their goals with confidence by actively engaging in their education.

By bringing this vision to life, we are not only preparing students for the future but we are also keeping the promise of their potential.
