Dear Bonita Unified Community,
Our students and employees were anything but idle over the summer, preparing for the new school year by embracing opportunities for growth and achievement. From being named a San Gabriel Valley “Favorite School District" to students independently representing the District at state-level athletic competitions, the spirit of living “The Bonita Way” carried on all summer long.
As the 2025-26 school year begins, we are thrilled to see our students return with energy and enthusiasm. From transitional kindergarten orientations to Senior Sunrise events, our campuses have been alive with excitement, setting the stage for a year of learning, creativity, and achievement.
We are excited to welcome seven new administrators to our District, whose experience, dedication, and fresh perspectives will be invaluable as we continue to guide our 10,000 students toward success. This includes new principals, assistant principals, and senior administrators who are already making meaningful contributions to our schools.
The start of the year has also highlighted the continued excellence of our programs. Our Welcome Back event showcased the incredible artistic talent nurtured across our District, while students are already making their mark in athletics, continuing Bonita Unified’s proud tradition of friendly competition, sportsmanship, and school spirit.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our teachers, staff, and administrators for their hard work over the summer. Their preparation, dedication, and commitment to our students ensure that every campus is ready for a year of learning and growth.
As we look ahead to 2025-26, I am filled with optimism for all that we will accomplish together. To our students, staff, and community: let’s lead, teach, and live in a way that says loudly and clearly that this will be our best year yet.
Sincerely,
Matt Wien
