Hesperia Unified School District

#SchoolSiteHighlight ​We are so proud of the Scorpions at Hesperia High School! This week, our campus hosted the powerful Every 15 Minutes program. This event helps our students understand the real dangers of drunk driving and the importance of making safe choices. ​🚁 Real-World Learning ​Our students didn't just hear about safety in a classroom—they saw it in action. This hands-on experience brought the community together to show the "real world" impact of the decisions we make. ​Highlights from the event included: ​A Staged Car Crash: Students watched a realistic scene to see how first responders work during an emergency. ​A Helicopter Landing: A medical helicopter landed right on campus to show how victims are rushed to help. ​Life Lessons: Students talked about how to keep themselves and their friends safe behind the wheel. ​❤️ A Huge Thank You ​Events like this take a lot of teamwork! We want to give a massive shout-out to the people who made this possible: ​Hesperia High School Staff for their hard work and dedication to our students. ​San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office and the Hesperia Unified School Police Department. ​All the law enforcement and first responders who spent their time teaching our kids. ​Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and prepared for the future!

Save the date! On Monday, April 20, 4PM-7PM at the District Office Annex HUSD will be hosting our annual Teacher Job Fair. We will be hiring for both elementary and secondary positions. We hope to see you there!

What an amazing day in the Hesperia Unified School District! Today, we opened our doors for our annual Principal for the Day event. We loved having our local community leaders step into the shoes of our hardworking principals to see all the great things happening on our campuses! ​🍔 A "Backyard BBQ" to Remember ​To wrap up the day, everyone met at the District Office for a reflective luncheon. But this wasn't just any lunch, it was a full Backyard BBQ feast! ​Our talented Culinary CTE students showed off their real-world skills by planning, prepping, and serving a delicious meal. ​On the menu: ​Smoky Tri-tip 🥩 ​Creamy Mac n Cheese 🧀 ​Fresh Watermelon 🍉 ​...and so much more! ​🌟 Student Stars ​A huge shout-out to the students and teachers from these high schools who worked together to make this happen: ​Hesperia High ​Oak Hills High ​Sultana High ​Mojave High ​Canyon Ridge High ​These students really outdid themselves today! ​❤️ Thank You, Community! ​We want to say a giant THANK YOU to all the community leaders who spent their time with us today. Your support helps make our schools a better place for every student. We love seeing our community and schools work together!

For today's #SchoolSiteHighlight we go to Joshua Circle for some 🍀✨ St. Patrick’s Day Fun! ✨🍀

Joshua Circle's third graders got creative this St. Patrick’s Day with a fun at-home project—designing and building their very own leprechaun traps! 🪤🌈 Students teamed up with their families to dream big, build creatively, and bring their ideas to life.

Those who participated proudly brought their traps to school to share and present with their classmates—it was amazing to see the imagination, effort, and teamwork on display! 👏💚

The fun didn’t stop there! Throughout the day, students also took part in engaging activities to learn more about St. Patrick’s Day and its traditions. 🍀📚

We loved seeing so much creativity and school spirit!

Many congratulations to Ranchero's 8th-grader, Holly Zubia, for winning the RIMS AVID Impact Award! Keep up the hard work, Holly—you are doing amazing, and we are so proud of you and everything you've accomplished. #RattlersRISE #IMPACTtheFutureHUSD
