The Huntington Beach Union High School District (HBUHSD) is a public school district serving portions of the Orange County cities of Garden Grove,[1][2] Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, and Westminster.
It oversees eleven sites, offering courses for students in grades 9-12. The union high school district also offers courses through an affiliated adult school. Its interim superintendent since July 2016 is Alan Rasmussen.[3] Our schools are known for their commitment to academic excellence for all students in the communities they serve.In addition to the wide array of academic offerings at all comprehensive campuses, designated schools have established a variety of specialized programs to enhance student success. These programs include Model United Nations (MUN); Academy for the Performing Arts (APA); International Baccalaureate (IB); Math Educational Resources Integrated with Technology and Science (MERITS); Advancement Via Individualized Determination (AVID); Center for International Business and Communication Studies (CIBACS); and Entertainment &Tourism and Health Academics.
The HBUHSD has gained notoriety for providing a full spectrum of special programs and alternative settings for students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). With programs like the Special Abilities Cluster (SAC), Pathways and Endeavors, students with special needs have the opportunity to receive instruction in accordance with their individual needs and to participate in activities a comprehensive school site has to offer.
