Civic Education
Chandler Unified School District values and takes pride in the numerous opportunities students have in civic learning. At all levels, students demonstrate a deep understanding of the U.S. Constitution, civic engagement, and an appreciation for our form of government and civic responsibility. Below are a few examples of CUSD civic education along with the Civic Literacy Diploma Seal, Participatory Budgeting, and We the People.
