About Us
The Santa Rita Union School District (SRUSD), located in the heart of the Salinas Valley of Monterey County, and is comprised of approximately 3600 students from Pre-School through Eighth Grade. We are located in the heart of "Steinbeck Country" a region best known for its mild central coast climate and the hometown of Nobel Prize winning recipient, John Steinbeck.
Made up of four elementary schools, and two middle schools and a state preschool, all located within a five mile radius of each other, our district is characterized by rich cultural and linguistic diversity and a ‘home town’ feel evidenced by a warm, welcoming and caring community.
Our classrooms are richly infused with technology, and we are a 1 to 1 ratio Chromebook district which means every student in the district has personal access to an educational technology device within the curriculum.
SRUSD values its community: School Board, District Leadership, Teachers, Parents, and Students. All place significant value on the ability of SRUSD to successfully educate students within the context of a small, vibrant and fully engaged district. The LCAP has been a catalyst for unifying the SRUSD’s vision around instructional excellence and academic achievement for all students.
