GLENDORA UNIFIED:
Entering the school year with Momentum, Innovation, & Community Pride
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year, one in which the Glendora Unified School District (GUSD) is poised to have our best year yet. We are
excited about the possibilities that await our students and their families
this year as we work in collaboration with the Glendora community to
offer the very best in education.
It was recently announced that GUSD was selected as the 2025 Favorite School District in the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) by the SGV News Group,
through its annual Readers Choice Awards. We celebrate our recent graduates from Glendora High School (GHS) and Whitcomb High School (WHS) and commend them on earning numerous scholarships as they
move on to their next phase of life, prepared to tackle what’s to come
while cementing their legacy in GUSD!
In GUSD, we are focused on continuous, sustained improvement and
enhancement of our facilities, programs, and services. We continue to
celebrate our traditions and, at the same time, seek to integrate new
opportunities and innovations for our students at all grade levels.
With our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Glendora Education Foundation (GEF), we will be opening our new STEAM labs at our middle
schools in the Fall of 2025. In addition, we are excited to offer our second
Dual Language Immersion (DLI) class in Spanish at Sutherland Elementary
this year as well. We continue to expand our Career Technical Education (CTE) offerings for high school students, and offer the very best in extra-
curricular activities for our secondary students across the District.
Thank you for unwavering support of GUSD.
We look forward to making the 2025-2026 school year our best year yet!
