We Are SPUSD
The Santa Paula Unified School District, in collaboration with educators, parents, and the community, will prepare all students academically, socially, and emotionally for college, careers, global citizenship, leadership, and lifelong learning. The district will use its resources to provide all students with diverse, equitable, differentiated experiences, and learning opportunities by a highly skilled educational team in a safe and supportive learning environment while remaining fiscally responsible.
We operate an early education program, six elementary schools (K-6), one middle school (7-8), one high school, one continuation high school, one adult education program, and an independent study program.
The Santa Paula Unified School District prohibits discrimination, harassment, student sexual harassment, intimidation, bullying, cyberbullying, and social media bullying; and the harmful effects of bullying on student well-being, student learning, and school attendance.
We strive to provide a safe school environment that protects students from physical and emotional harm. If you SEE something, SAY something. SPUSD Board Policies can be found in the "Students" section of the SPUSD Board Policies website.
