High expectations lead to success

Utica Community Schools is a district defined by high expectations.


Every member of our school community – parents, students, teachers, administrators, staff and residents – recognizes that high standards translate into success for graduates.

High expectations encourage students to dream beyond what they thought was possible.  A positive and motivating community has the power to transform how students think and engage.

We are committed to exemplary teaching and learning in order for our students to be prepared for success in the 21st Century.
We will achieve this commitment by engaging the entire community to focus on each child's achievement, with the expectation that every student will pursue some type of post-high school educational endeavor.

Student achievement in the district continues to outpace local, state and national levels, and the district’s graduation rate of 92.4 percent is more than 12 points higher than Michigan averages.
