Sacramento City Unified School District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sacramento City Unified School District's main office is located at the Serna Center in Sacramento, California, USA.
The district has been serving most of the city of Sacramento for over 150 years. Sacramento High School opened in 1856. It was the second oldest high school in the United States west of the Mississippi River until the school board voted to close the school in June 2003. The SCUSD is also home to Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High School, John F. Kennedy High School, C.K. McClatchy High School, and West Campus High School.
As Sacramento grew, the district grew and now is among the 10 largest school districts in California serving about 50,000 K-12 students and 20,000 adult education students. Sacramento City is “unified” because kindergarten through 12th students are served. Along with neighborhood schools, there are specialized programs such as basic or fundamental, alternative schools, Waldorf methods, charter, JROTC, international study, criminal justice, and independent study.
The superintendent of Sacramento City Unified School District is Dr. M. Magdalena Carrillo Mejia.
