Welcome To The San Mateo Union High School District

Mission...a statement of system purpose and critical means

The mission of the San Mateo Union High School District is to challenge and motivate each student to achieve full potential as a responsible member of our diverse community, in a safe learning environment that promotes intellectual growth, health, creativity, and respect for self and others.

Beliefs...fundamental convictions and basic values

We believe that:

  • Each individual has equal inherent dignity and worth.

  • Family is essential to the development of an individual's values.

  • Learning develops the aesthetic, emotional, intellectual, practical, and social aspects of the whole person.

  • Learning is a unique, personal, and lifelong experience.

  • Motivation is essential for reaching one's potential.

  • Higher expectations yield higher results.

  • Communities have a responsibility to the individual as individuals have a responsibility to the community.

  • Diversity enriches the community.

Board of Trustees Agree to 6-Month Property Search

The Board of Trustees has agreed to pursue the acquisition of property (or properties) to house certain key District functions. At the board meeting on March 7, the governing board reached consensus on a flexible six-month time schedule to find an alternative location for Peninsula High School; the central administrative office; maintenance and operations and the transportation (bus) facility. During the study session, at which no votes were taken, the board members were in agreement on moving the District Office and the bus yard; both are currently located on the campus of San Mateo High School. Most board members also concurred in directing the administration not to prioritize options for the future location of Peninsula at this time. Listed alternatives included moving Peninsula to a portion of the San Mateo High School site and renovating the present Peninsula facilities which are located at the former Crestmoor High School in the hills of western San Bruno. It was agreed that shifting Peninsula to the Hillsdale High School campus in San Mateo was off the table due to projections of increasing enrollment in the southern part of the District. District officials have been looking for ways to bring Peninsula to a more centralized location for several years. Most Peninsula students live in Burlingame, San Mateo and Foster City, far from the alternative school’s campus. All of the projects would be funded via bonds provided by Measure O, which was approved by District taxpayers in 2010.
