Community Schools

At Salinas Union High School District, we believe that student success extends beyond the classroom. Through the Community Schools strategy, we are creating schools where students feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

Community Schools serve as hubs of partnership and collaboration, bringing together educators, families, students, community organizations, and local agencies to address the unique strengths and needs of our school communities. By integrating academic support, wellness services, family engagement opportunities, and community partnerships, we are removing barriers to learning and creating equitable pathways for every student.

All 12 of our schools have received funding through the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP). This significant investment provides an opportunity for transformational change across our district, allowing us to strengthen systems of support, expand access to resources and services, deepen family and community engagement, and create learning environments that are responsive to the needs, strengths, and aspirations of our students and families.
