We Are SFUSD

One of the reasons I’ve been at Muir for 13 years is that the community really cares for each other and has a positive energy.

The best part about going to school in SFUSD was meeting people of so many different cultures and experiencing diversity in the classroom.

I really like math and decided to take both Geometry and Algebra II in the same year, which has helped me practice how to multi-task.

My experiences in high school fueled my passion to support others and helped me discover potential career paths aligning with community empowerment.

Being a part of a unique and inclusive cohort challenged me to aim for the stars within the classroom while always practicing self-introspection.

My teachers and counselors have been great resources for me to get support and keep track of my progress.

SFUSD helped me strengthen my leadership, collaboration, and empathy skills. As a student representative, I improved my dedication, persistence, and advocacy.

Thanks to my American Democracy class, I can see myself getting more involved in the changes of a better San Francisco because the existing issues require the voices and engagement of everyone.

As a result of all the experiences navigating my high school education, I have gained leadership experience and learned to have empathy for others.

I love learning about my students’ art and creativity, and sharing a sacred space together and building creative energy off of each other.

When I was an SFUSD student I knew that my teachers cared about me, and now I feel that all my daughters’ teachers care about them.

I really love that I am able to witness children connecting with and caring for the environment at such a young age.

It’s really nice to see the connection that I make with people of my culture, and to be that inspiration for them to see they can also be a teacher.

As a math teacher I know that every student has the capacity to think like a mathematician, and by working together we can reach our fullest potential.

Food is the path to history and also to the future.

Our students are our core and we will get through this because of their energy which keeps us going every day.

I like being a substitute for the freedom and the excitement of every day.

I went to McAteer High School back in the 80s - education makes sense in the trajectory of my life and I want to give back by working with teens, especially in career technical education.

I am so proud and encouraged by SFUSD’s commitment and dedication to our students.

SFUSD gives me the opportunity to show my students San Francisco, and not just in a classroom.

It’s nice that we’re doing something to help the community by building a playground through the Wilderness Arts Literacy Collaborative (WALC).

We’re a neighborhood school serving the Excelsior District and community and have so many deep traditions.

I am a constant advocate for young adults moving into their careers in SFUSD.

What I love about SFUSD is the diversity and that people from so many different cultures come together.
