Strategic Master Plan

Mission

The Brawley Union High School District, located in a rural, desert agricultural setting, serves a culturally diverse population and is supported by strong partnerships among students, staff, parents, business, and community. The mission of the district is to challenge and empower all students to graduate as self-directed, productive citizens who are effective communicators, critical thinkers, risk takers and lifelong learners. We will accomplish this through a competent staff, who implements a standards-based curriculum emphasizing rigor, relevance, technology, global application and support for special needs.
