Below are just some of ways WUHSD measures success.

 

 

Whittier Union graduates attend such prestigious universities as Harvard, Stanford, Columbia and USC, campuses within the University of California and California State University systems.

 

 

 

More Whittier Union students than ever before are earning the credits they need to graduate on time, earning among the highest on-target to graduate rates in District history.
