SBUSD Pacific Islander Program

The Pacific Islander program is the first of its kind in our organization, dedicated to creating visibility and impact specifically for Pasifika scholars. We understand the importance of engaging our families and connecting with our scholars to better support their needs. We have designed this program to intentionally address the achievement gaps within our academics, aiming to create equal opportunities and success for our Pasifika scholars.
