Hello WCCUSD Community,

Last Wednesday was the last official school day for the 2021-2022 school year. We did it thanks to you, our students and staff. Now, graduations are well underway in WCCUSD and I am beyond proud of our students’ accomplishments. Our students have trail blazed through some of the most critical and unprecedented times in our Nation’s history, and I look forward to attending the final graduation ceremonies for the class of 2022 to wish them well on their next journey. I encourage you to watch this video to hear a special end of year message from me.
