It is a true pleasure to welcome students, staff, and families to our great school district. Vista Unified has a proud history of high quality, innovative learning environments that promote student engagement and achievement not only in academics, but also in social/emotional development and behavioral growth. Our theory of action is that if we keep the focus on the whole child and create learner-centered environments, then we will realize our vision, our learner, adult and systems portraits, and our values.

On behalf of the Vista Unified School Board of Trustees and the entire Vista team, I would like to officially announce the adoption of our new Framework for the Future. We will retain our motto as a district that strives for excellence and innovation in all that we do. The framework contains three new components: our vision, a set of portraits, and our values. We will be focusing our efforts throughout the year operationalizing our new Framework for the Future so that all students have the opportunity to learn and grow in the most dynamic, relevant, and supportive educational environment possible.
