Dear Bonita Unified families,

 

As we move further into our 2024-2025 school year, we are proud to celebrate the continued excellence of our students as they strive to live their purpose. From extraordinary academic achievement to earning awards that honor their creativity and talent, Bonita Unified students are thriving in all areas.

We continue to raise the bar we have set for ourselves as a District, evidenced by our record-setting CAASPP scores for the 203-24 school year. These results showcase Bonita Unified as an educational leader in the state and signify our District’s academic recovery from the challenges posed by the pandemic. This is all thanks to the resilience of our students and educators in overcoming every obstacle in their path.

Our students have continued these successes beyond the classroom, with 24 students from both San Dimas and Bonita high schools selected for the Southern California Vocal Association Honor Choirs, underscoring the exceptional talent cultivated through our choir programs offered as early as fourth grade.

Adding to this momentum, nine recent Bonita Unified graduates earned welding certifications from the Welding Certification Center after completing a 16-week career technical education (CTE) pilot program that provided low- to no-cost certification training to high school students. Offered through a partnership with Pomona Valley America’s Job Center of California and the Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity, this program is just one of many exciting learning experiences that prepares Bonita Unified students for success after high school. Whether they are honing culinary skills or mastering a trade, our students are gaining practical experience in our CTE pathways as they work toward fulfilling and rewarding careers.

These accomplishments would not be possible without the support of our dedicated team of educators, staff, parents, and volunteers. Together, we are ensuring every Bonita Unified student has the encouragement and resources they need to pursue their passions and fulfill their potential.

On behalf of the Board of Education, we want to wish everyone a wonderful winter break and look forward to celebrating the new opportunities and successes in our community in the new year.
