The Hayward Unified School District is committed to educational equity so that every student realizes their innate potential, becoming a lifelong learner and having a positive impact on their community. Our mission is to draw from our community’s rich diversity in order to create engaging and equitable educational experiences for students, delivered in a safe and supportive environment. This environment supports inclusion, anti racism through an ethnic studies learner orientation and growth mindset. HUSD believes the responsibility for student success is broadly shared by district staff, families, our community, and our students’ own efforts. Each HUSD student deserves respectful learning environments in which diversity is valued and contributes to successful academic outcomes. We seek equity-minded applicants who demonstrate they understand the benefits diversity brings to an educational community. We look for applicants who:
- Reflect our diverse community
- Value and intentionally promote diversity and consciousness of difference
- Empower students furthest from opportunity
- Demonstrate cultural competence and cultural humility
- Believe that all people have the right to an education and work environment free from fear, harassment, or discrimination
- Actively seek to disrupt institutional and/or systemic barriers that adversely impact historically marginalized communities
- Foster students’ potential to become global citizens and socially responsible leaders.
