Superintendent's Update - October 2021: We have already cleared the halfway point through our semester, our students and staff have risen to the challenges presented by the return to in-person learning and I am so proud to see our campuses bustling with activity, achievement and growth. Students across our District are engaging in deep learning through our innovative CTE pathways and rigorous curriculum, as well as participating meaningfully in our community through activities such as working to promote breast cancer awareness and volunteering to help build an urban garden on Arroyo High School’s campus. They are truly fulfilling the El Monte Union vision by becoming lifelong learners and contributing members of our global society.
