The Mission of the El Monte Union High School District is to provide a sound and well-balanced educational program for each student. The program is geared to each pupil’s needs and restricted only by the financial limits of the district.

Educational experiences relate to daily living and give direction to career planning with future employment and technology trends in mind. Students will be actively engaged in each educational activity with all efforts to develop a healthy body, disciplined mind, broad education and sound character.

Schools will assist in developing a knowledge and appreciation for mankind’s heritage, culture and wisdom. Students will develop into well-rounded, useful, intelligent citizens appreciative of our democratic way of life.

In particular, the district’s goals for each student include a strong basic skills program; positive attitude towards self, others, learning and work; educational exposure to a variety of courses and disciplines; career awareness and exploration; life planning and decision making; and consumer and economic awareness.
