The Promise

2025-26

Our Commitment to Every Student

The Promise is the foundation of our work and our vision for every student in Palo Alto Unified. It reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence, innovation, and belonging—anchored by the belief that every child deserves to learn, grow, and thrive in an environment that values their unique potential.

For the 2025–26 school year, The Promise is grounded in five key priority areas: Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging; High Quality Teaching and Learning; Innovation and Social Responsibility; Mental Health and Wellness; and Serve and Celebrate Others. Together, these priorities guide how we serve students, support staff, and partner with our community to achieve lasting impact.
