For students in Madera Unified School District, graduating high school now requires more than maintaining grades and staying in good standing. 

With the introduction of the Graduate Profile, students must demonstrate essential skills that prepare them for life after high school, whether they’re headed to college or entering the workforce.

The Graduate Profile focuses on teaching students six key competencies: Think, Adapt, Communicate, Collaborate, Produce, and Contribute.
