The Ventura Commerce and Education Foundation is pleased to support the efforts of Ventura Unified School District, its schools and staff by coordinating the Principal for a Day program each spring.

Have you ever heard a young person ask “Why do I need to learn history, math, chemistry, etc., I’ll never use it?” As an employer you know how important it is to have well trained, skilled employees, and how valuable basic skills are.

This is your opportunity to spend the day observing what our schools are doing to prepare the youth of today for our future.
