Small District Culture

Covina-Valley Unified prides itself on fostering a “small district culture,” where teachers and administrators know students by name and offer personalized services to teachers and students. The District offers innovative programs at their elementary schools to best serve their diverse student body – such as computer science, access to high-speed broadband internet, 1:1 technology, and a K-5 dual-language immersion program in Mandarin, Spanish, and English.

“Congratulations to our elementary schools for being named among the best elementary schools in the state by U.S. News & World Report,”

Covina-Valley Unified Superintendent Elizabeth Eminhizer said.

“This designation wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and commitment of our students as well as our teachers, staff, parents, and community to support student success.”
