Stonegate Elementary is one of 362 schools from across the U.S. to have earned what is widely considered the nation’s highest level of recognition for public and private schools.

The Irvine Unified School District has been ranked a top school district in Orange County and is one of the best in California, according to a new report by the review site Niche.

Seven IUSD teachers and Plaza Vista’s principal have received the 2019 Orange County Music and Arts Administrators (OCMAA) award.  Congratulations to all honorees.

As part of Earth Month this past April, IUSD’s Sustainability team held a poster contest, asking students to create a poster demonstrating the theme “Zero Waste Lunch.” Students focused on reducing, reusing and recycling through this creative process. 

Today, IUSD announced its five 2019 Classified Employees of the Year – Christian Gregor, Dayna Pace, Klara Saunders, Sue Natalizio and Joshua Razo.

In addition to producing the most District champions, Sierra Vista continued its impressive record, producing the most state champions in California. Lakeside Middle School and University High School will also advance to the national competition.  

This year, 52 IUSD employees are set to retire, collectively representing more than 1,000 years of service. 

U.S. News  & World Report released its latest ranking of the country's "Best High Schools" this week, and four of IUSD’s comprehensive campuses made the list.

After taking first place at the county competition, the Woodbridge High team took eighth at state.
