Superintendent's Message
Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
As we embark on the final quarter of the school year, I am incredibly proud of the dedication, perseverance, and excellence our students continue to demonstrate. Whether in the classroom, on the field, or in the arts, our students consistently rise to the challenge and achieve remarkable success. This year, five of our schools secured top rankings in the Academic Decathlon, Valley View High School earned the coveted “Model Continuation High School” award, and our performing arts programs in drama, dance, choir, and band continue to shine at all of our schools. These accomplishments are a testament to the hard work of our students and the unwavering support of our talented educators and staff.
As we approach the final quarter, I want to emphasize the importance of staying focused and finishing the year strong. Our dedicated teachers have been preparing students for the upcoming California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) and California Science Test (CAST), as well as the Advanced Placement (AP) exams. These assessments provide an opportunity for students to showcase their knowledge and readiness for future academic and career endeavors.
- The CAASPP is a critical assessment for all juniors, measuring proficiency in Math and English.
- The CAST is administered to all seniors, evaluating their understanding of science.
- The CAST is administered to all seniors, evaluating their understanding of science.
- AP exams offer students the chance to earn college credit and demonstrate mastery in advanced subjects.
I strongly encourage all juniors and seniors to take these tests seriously, attend all testing days, and give their best effort. These assessments not only reflect individual achievement but also contribute to the overall success of our schools. Testing schedules are available on each school’s website, and I urge students to prepare diligently and approach these exams with confidence.

To our students—stay committed, keep pushing forward, and finish strong! Your hard work will pay off, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Parents and guardians, please continue to monitor your student’s progress through Canvas, and do not hesitate to reach out to teachers, counselors, administrators, or my office if you need any assistance. We remain dedicated to ensuring every student reaches their full potential.
As a reminder, there will be no school from March 24-28 for spring break. I hope you take this time to rest and recharge before we close out the school year on a high note.
Thank you for your continued dedication and support.
Sincerely,
Mathew Holton, Ed.D.
