Many of our over 400 certificated and 300 classified staff members are from the community and proudly serve it. The District is situated in East Salinas, California.

Apart from a plethora of other rigorous academic programs and foci, we currently offer several forms of bilingual program offerings in nine of our schools, including a districtwid...e dual immersion program. Our district's motto is "AUSD, cultivating the whole child for a world-class education." This simple but highly meaningful and aspirational statement acutely honors our community and speaks to our goal to meet, not only the academic needs of our students but, also, whatever social-emotional and other needs they have that will facilitate their ability to succeed in school and in life. In addition to our twelve schools, we offer three family resource centers whose staff endeavors to assist families to empower themselves to be healthy and self-sufficient via a multitude of direct and referral services. At our schools, in addition to our dedicated office, custodial, cafeteria, and playground staff, teachers and principals, each school is also supported by its own counselor, Library Specialist, Instructional Coach, and assistant principal. Additionally, every school is further supported by districtwide Psychologists, School Nurse and LVNs, and Speech Therapists. Lastly, as part of our whole-child efforts, we offer seasonal sports (flag football, volleyball, basketball, soccer) at each of our schools, music (including our amazing Alisal All-Star Drumline and Colorguard/Tall Flags and Mariachi Juvenil Alisal), folklórico dance, and after-school and weekend academic support and enrichment, including NASA STEM Academy and Intro to Coder Dojo. AUSD, cultivating the whole child for a world-class education!
