Profile

Established as a unified school district in 1989, Murrieta Valley Unified School District, a 2018 California Exemplary School District, is a student-centered district in southwest Riverside County. We proudly educate over 23,500 students from transitional kindergarten through high school with rigorous academic programs designed to help every student succeed. We inspire students to participate in our highly acclaimed visual and performing arts programs, championship athletic programs and nationally recognized student activity programs within our 11 elementary schools, four middle schools and three comprehensive high schools and two alternative educational settings. Our district also offers adult and community education, early childhood education, and an adult transition program for students over the age of 18 with intellectual disabilities.

• Our Mission

  To inspire every student to think, to learn, to achieve, to care.

  The Board of Trustees adopted the final Strategic Plan on March 22, 2007, following an eight-month strategic planning process. During that process, Board Trustees and Senior Cabinet administrators developed a draft mission statement, beliefs, focus and directions to define and guide the future of Murrieta Valley Unified School District. District employees, students, parents and community members gave us their feedback and suggested changes on the draft Strategic Plan. Of the 750 people who completed an on-line survey, 94% expressed support for the mission statement and 96% supported the belief statements and directions.
