Our Values and Beliefs

After reviewing the current values in the context of today's realities and a globalized 21st century environment, Palmdale School District has adopted a new set of five values that incorporate most of the current beliefs, sharpening and focusing them:

1. HIGH INTELLECTUAL PERFORMANCE

that prepares every student to graduate read for college, career, and the global 21st century.

2. EQUITY

for all our students, schools, and communities as reflected in outcomes and opportunities.

3. Facilitating and supporting

every student's achievement by BUILDING ON THEIR STRENGTHS, CULTURES, LANGUAGES, and experiences to create new successes.

4. MULTILINGUALISM and MULTICULTURALISM

as an individual, community, national, and global assets in the 21st century.

5. INTEGRITY and COMMUNITY

based on trust and common purpose that empower individuals and communities.
