A Message of Hope to our MUSD Community
To the dedicated staff, resilient students, and supportive families of Milpitas Unified School District—
In times like these, it’s important to pause and acknowledge what many of us are feeling. Life has not been easy. From academic pressures and social challenges to economic uncertainty and personal hardships, each of you has carried burdens—some visible, many unseen. While we may hope the road ahead becomes smoother, we must also prepare for continued challenges.
Within challenges there are struggles and within those struggles lies something powerful: hope.
Hope is not passive. It is active. It is a decision we make each day—to show up, to care, to try, try again. At MUSD, we are not just enduring these times; we are growing through them. We are, and will alway be Building a Culture of We—where every student is seen, every voice matters, and every individual MUSD team member contributes to a stronger community.
Now more than ever, I encourage each of us to stay purpose-driven. Remember why you do what you do—whether it’s teaching, learning, supporting, driving, cooking, counseling or leading. Purpose will anchor you when uncertainty arises.
Be flexible. The world is changing rapidly, and our ability to adapt is one of our greatest strengths. Growth often requires us to step outside of our comfort zones and embrace new ways of thinking and doing.
Be courageous. Courage doesn’t mean you’re not afraid—it means you move forward despite fear. Our students are watching us. Let’s model what it means to persevere with integrity and determination.
And above all, be compassionate. Everyone is navigating their own journey. A kind word, a listening ear, or a simple gesture of support can make a profound difference.
At MUSD, we are committed to preparing our next generation not just academically, but holistically. Through initiatives like our Innovation Campus, expanded career pathways, early childhood education programs, and workforce development opportunities, we are creating systems that empower students from TK through adulthood. We are aligning our efforts with real-world opportunities so that every student can thrive in college, career, and life.
This is our moment—not just to respond, but to lead with purpose and unity.
Together, we will continue to build, to support one another, and to rise.
Because in Milpitas, we don’t stand alone—we stand as one.
