Dear CJUHSD Parents and Guardians,
As we near the close of the 2025–2026 school year, I am filled with an immense sense of pride in all that our students and school communities have accomplished. This year has been one of growth, perseverance, and meaningful connection; and through every challenge and triumph, our students have continued to inspire me with their heart, their dedication, and their unwavering resilience.
From the energy of Friday night football games to classroom visits filled with curiosity and creativity, and from celebrating milestones in the arts to honoring achievements in academics, I have been privileged to witness the incredible spirit that defines our CJUHSD students firsthand. They rise to meet every challenge with strength of character, and I am truly inspired by what I see each and every day.
With state testing, AP exams, and finals in full swing, I recognize how much your students are doing to finish this year strongly. I want each of them to know that their dedication does not go unnoticed. Students, we see you, we are proud of you, and we are cheering you on every step of the way.
To the extraordinary Class of 2026: Graduation is nearly upon you, and with it comes a richly deserved celebration of everything you’ve worked for and achieved. A special letter dedicated to you will be posted on our website as your big day approaches. Please visit our website under the Resources tab for your school’s graduation dates and times. I have had the honor of meeting many of you throughout your time here, and I say this with complete confidence, our future is bright with you leading the way. Your journey is just beginning, and I cannot wait to see all that lies ahead for you.
This summer, schools will continue supporting students through our summer school program, running from May 27 – June 25, 2026. Whether students are looking to recover credits, get a jump on the year ahead, or sharpen their skills, we encourage them to connect with their school counselor to register and make the most of this valuable opportunity.
As we celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates and bring this school year to a close, we also look ahead to the coming year with renewed hope and excitement. Thank you, parents and guardians, for your steadfast support and partnership throughout this year. Together, we continue to build a community where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Wishing you all a fun, safe, and restful summer.
Sincerely,
Mathew Holton, Ed.D.
Superintendent
