Saugus Union School District

The Saugus Union School District is located in Santa Clarita Valley in Northern Los Angeles County. Currently, there are approximately 10,100 students attending fifteen schools and an independent home study program. We offer preschool programs on sixteen campuses and have approximately 530 preschoolers enrolled. The newest campus, Emblem Academy, was re-opened in the 2013-2014 school year with a focus on Ethics, Science, Technology, Engineering, Entrepreneurship, and Mathematics. Fourteen of our schools have been recognized as California Gold Ribbon Schools, while thirteen have been recognized as California Distinguished Schools, many of them more than once. In 2012 - 2013 one school received the Title I National Academic Achievement award. In addition, five schools have been recognized as National Blue Ribbon Schools. Academic Performance Index (API) scores have been consistently strong with all schools over the state goal of 800. In 2012-2013 our API was 876. All demographic areas of student performance continue to show improvement. Saugus Union School District has an active parent participation movement at all sites with School Site Councils and Parent Teacher Organizations supporting community and educational needs at each school. Representatives of these organizations join together to form the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) in order to meet and share information under the leadership of the District Superintendent. We invite you to contact us to share your ideas and join with us in ensuring our students and your children receive a quality education.
