Welcome From the Head of School
Dear visitors to our web site:
We are delighted
to introduce you to the values, passions, and excellence that
characterize our community - San Francisco University High School. I
can think of no better way to describe our school than to quote the
last sentence of our mission statement: UHS challenges
each individual
to live a life of integrity, inquiry, and purpose larger than the self.
To
that end, we have built a community of learners, where everyone finds a
place in our classrooms, on our athletic fields, on our stages, and in
serving others in San Francisco. Our students and teachers are bright,
inquisitive, idealistic, ambitious, and whimsical. Our program is
designed to enable a student to go as deeply into any field of study as
he or she might wish. Moreover, we expect our students to challenge us
as we embrace the future together.
We live in a
remarkable time, facing a future in which our global society engages us
with its diversity, creativity and new models of living and learning.
As we use the tools of technology to explore the depths of the
Information Age and better understand our world, we at UHS prepare our
students to be creative citizens and leaders in our rapidly changing
world.
There are many wonders yet to come. Dedicated to
the values of excellence, service, and justice, we stand ready to
welcome students and families with intelligence, commitment, and
integrity. I join the rest of the faculty and students in welcoming you
to University High School. We look forward to meeting you soon.
