Our Strategic Plan 

Our Strategic Plan is rooted in deep collaboration, community voice, and our steadfast commitment to the success of every El Monte City School District student.

Each element of this plan reflects our shared aspirations for our school communities and the promise we are making to our students, families, and one another. It is more than a document—it is a call to action. It is our roadmap to a new era for EMCSD—one where we lead with purpose, act with compassion, and move forward with clarity and confidence across the four priority areas outlined in these pages.

These priorities are grounded in our new Vision and Mission and brought to life by the EMCSD Learner Dispositions—crafted hand-in-hand by our educators, families, students, and community members. They reflect the heart of who we are and set the foundation for the journey ahead.

Our storied history has shown that when we unite around a bold vision, there is no limit to what we can accomplish. With this Strategic Plan as our north star, we stand ready to break barriers, open new doors, and help every student achieve beyond limits—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

In partnership,

Phase 1: Building the Foundation (September 2024 – December 2024)

We invited nearly 90 individuals to participate in our Guiding Coalition to help lead this important work. This diverse group included:

Together we developed our new

Vision & Mission

Phase 2: Deepening the Work (February 2025 - March 2025)

Pulling from our guiding coalition, a smaller subcommittee focused on chiseling down our learner dispositions and laid the groundwork for the priority areas, focus goals and long-range goals, outlined in this plan. This collaborative and inclusive approach reflects our collective belief in what is possible when a community comes together to shape the future of education.
