Pasadena Unified School District campuses are focused on learning, with schools organized and staffed to meet the developmental, emotional, and social needs of students at the elementary, middle and high school level.
Through a positive culture of discipline based on respect for the individual, others and their property, our schools offer learning environments where student safety is inherent.
Preparing for emergencies is a must in Southern California, and disaster preparedness is a priority in the Pasadena Unified School District.
