San Luis Coastal USD is home to approximately 7500 students, preschool through 12th grade. Our supportive community recently approved a $177 million bond to repair, modernize, upgrade and expand our facilities throughout the district. Our staff receive competitive salaries and benefits and we seek to attract the best and brightest to be part of our innovative educational team. Our Schools: San Luis Coastal's schools include 10 elementary, 2 middle, 2 comprehensive high schools, and 1 continuation high school. Maintaining small schools reflects our educational philosophy of knowing students on a very personal level. Our success as a district is reflected by numerous California Distinguished School Awards, National Blue Ribbon Awards, and many other honors. Our schools are dynamic, student-centered learning communities where all children are expected to take risks, explore new opportunities, and discover their unique potential. Our Belief: We believe that every child matters regardless of their circumstances. Through the three “Rs” of rigor, relevance, and relationship, students are provided valuable opportunities to become the very best they can be. “Success for All” requires many hands, multiple networks of thoughtful people, and an expectation that every child can achieve to their fullest. This is our conscious journey as a school district.
