We will give time and attention to developing financial, social, physical, developmental, psychological and emotional wellness to enable our foundation, our board, our donors, our district, our students and teachers, and our relationships to thrive.

Engagement

We will actively involve the community – educators, businesses, residents, parents and alumni – to fully engage with the UCS district.

Inspiration

We are driven by our passion for our students, their educators, and this community. We will encourage others to invest their time, talents and resources in the education of UCS students.

Stewardship

We value the resources that are contributed to the Foundation and will responsibly use them to increase what the District can do for its students through innovation and strategy.

Equity

Each UCS student deserves to have the best learning environment and tools to foster dynamic, creative learning opportunities that vary based on individual student needs.
