Anaheim Union High School District

What Anaheim Union High School District does

Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD) is a California public school district headquartered at 501 N. Crescent Way, Anaheim, CA 92801, governed by a five-member elected Board of Trustees and led by Superintendent Michael B. Matsuda. The district serves secondary-grade students (typically grades 7-12) across more than 20 schools—approximately 12 high schools and 8 junior highs including Anaheim HS, Katella HS, Loara HS, Western HS, Savanna HS, Ball HS, Brookhurst JH, Dale JH, South JH, and Polaris. AUHSD employs between 1,001 and 5,000 staff and reports operating status with active web, social media, and emergency-alerting infrastructure.

The district's core offerings include standard secondary instruction, Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways (notably the Game Design and eSports Pathway launched in October 2025 with Fullerton College and supported by Extron), mental health and pupil support services, community schools and family engagement programming, and wraparound basic-needs services such as a free laundry voucher program for McKinney-Vento, homeless, foster, and financially distressed students. Its technology stack centers on the Aeries Student Information System, learning management systems, the StopIt anonymous reporting platform, and an SMS/MMS notification system for family alerts; the district also references an AI Summit initiative and digital citizenship program, though no deployed AI product is disclosed.

AUHSD does not generate commercial revenue; it is funded through California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), local property taxes, and federal education grants under the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP). All services to enrolled students—including the new laundry services and CTE pathways—are provided free of charge. Distribution is direct on-campus via social workers, counselors, and educators, with select programs routed through community partners (e.g., Superior Laundry). The district is categorized as a government-state entity and is not an investable securities issuer.
