Excellence in the classroom, on the road and on every field
Our tight-knit community of 1,220 students thrives within a vast, 2,100-square-mile district nestled in the heart of the Central California foothills. Our commitment to students extends beyond the classroom with a robust transportation system, where our dedicated bus drivers cover over 300,000 miles each year to get over 600 students to our three campuses. Outside of academics, students can pursue their passions by participating in over 25 different boys' and girls' sports offered annually.
ACADEMICS
Excellence is a continual goal. SUSD implements rigorous yet equitable academic programs to propel students toward success in higher education. We also strive for excellence in occupational learning, helping students to master job skills that are applicable and sought after by local and regional businesses.ATHLETICS
Every Sierra athletic team that takes the field, the court, or the pool is in it to win it! Every Eagle, Warrior, and Chieftain takes pride in representing our district and showcasing their talents. We also believe that athletic competition is more than that – it’s about learning to achieve a common goal, cooperative work, clear communication, and exposure through participation in a variety of sports to achieve a well-rounded experience.
