CJUSD Superintendent Miranda Looking to Finish School Year Strong with Student Achievement

With the end of the school year fast approaching, Colton Joint Unified School District Superintendent Frank Miranda is focused on a strong end of the school year for students and families.

“Spring break marks the beginning of the final phase of the school year, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on our work and look to create momentum that will prepare us for the FY 23-24 school year,” said Dr. Frank Miranda, Superintendent, Colton Joint Unified School District. “This year has been a great year of accomplishment for our students. Building on that, we are going to work to make the end of our current school year a memorable one for students and families.”

This has been a year of great accomplishment at the District, with success in the classroom through accomplishments such as our students’ outstanding performance on CJUSD’s first district-wide reading challenge and success in sports with league championships by our Colton High School varsity boys soccer, Grand Terrace High School softball and Bloomington High School’s boys volleyball and varsity and junior varsity baseball teams.

As the District enters the final months of the 22-23 school year, district administration and the Board of Education are focused on making the end of the year one that builds momentum for the beginning of the FY 23-24 academic year.

As the district continues work on the CJUSD Design Plan and its three pillars of professional learning, equity, and professionalism, the focus is on its motto of “Keeping Students First… Achievement, Equity, Wellness.”

“At CJUSD, we are focused on making sure that every single one of our students has the necessary foundational tools to one day make all of their dreams come true,” said Miranda. “That’s what inspires me every single day that I come to work.”
