The San Diego Unified School District is proud to once again celebrate the incredible success of its schools in the 2025 ‘Be A Pro and Always Go’ Attendance Challenge, in partnership with the San Diego Padres. Over an 8-week period this spring, a time when attendance typically declines, 35 out of 46 participating schools increased their attendance—a remarkable achievement for students, staff, and families.

For the second consecutive year, the San Diego Padres are partnering with San Diego Unified School District to combat chronic absenteeism through the expanded "Be a Pro and Always Go" attendance campaign. Building on last year's successful collaboration, this year's initiative emphasizes the critical importance of consistent school attendance for academic achievement and long-term success.
