Berkeley Unified School District

Berkeley Unified School District Students are our priority. We take pride in our diversity. We hold high expectations for ourselves and our students.

We treat each other with respect and act with integrity. Berkeley Unified School District social media platforms are intended to serve as an information source for the district and our community. The purpose of official BUSD and school social media sites is to share news and information about BUSD and school activities, events and highlights. BUSD welcomes comments and contributions to its social

media sites, but please note contributions and comments will be moderated and these sites are not open public forums. All contributions and comments are at the discretion of the site monitor. The district reserves the right, but is not obligated to, remove contributions that it deems offensive, off topic, uncivil, or inappropriate. The intent of this practice is to maintain a positive and informative flow of communication while protecting the privacy and rights of our community. Contributions and comments to these sites are the opinion of the author and do not represent the district. BUSD social media sites are family-friendly and education based. We are here to support and inform our students, teachers, staff, parents and community. Berkeley Unified is responsible for educating more than 9,400 students in 11 public elementary schools, 3 middle schools, one comprehensive high school, and a continuation high school. In addition, the district has 3 preschool facilities and an Adult School serving several thousand students each year. With a tradition of excellence rooted in a vibrant community, Berkeley Unified alumni have become national and international leaders in business, civic society, politics, academia, sports and the arts. Students and staff in Berkeley Unified come from a wide variety of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, surrounded by one of the most intellectually and culturally rich regions in the United States. The Mission, Vision, Values, and Goals of Berkeley Unified are encapsulated in the four E’s:

Excellence
Equity
Engagement
Enrichment

Since the founding of the University of California, Berkeley in 1868 and the establishment of Berkeley’s first high school in 1879, Berkeley’s community has been proud to be a leader in public education. In 1968, the Berkeley Unified School District was one of the first school districts in America to desegregate without a court order. What you should know about our District:
