Our Mission
To inspire every student to think, to learn, to achieve, to care.
The Board of Trustees adopted the final Strategic Plan on March 22, 2007, following an eight-month strategic planning process. During that process, Board Trustees and Senior Cabinet administrators developed a draft mission statement, beliefs, focus and directions to define and guide the future of Murrieta Valley Unified School District. District employees, students, parents and community members gave us their feedback and suggested changes on the draft Strategic Plan. Of the 750 people who completed an on-line survey, 94% expressed support for the mission statement and 96% supported the belief statements and directions.
