What Wheatland Union High School District does

Wheatland Union High School District is a California public school district headquartered at 1010 Wheatland Rd, Wheatland, CA 95692, serving approximately 500-800 high school students in grades 9-12 across Yuba County under the governance of a Board of Trustees with Dr. Nicole Newman, Ed.D. as Superintendent. The district operates four schools: the main Wheatland Union High School campus, Wheatland Virtual Academy (independent study/virtual learning), Edward P. Duplex Continuation High School, and Community Day High School. It also hosts the GSPP Capitol Region Technical Assistance Center, a state-funded regional CTE hub serving 12 California counties.

The district delivers a portfolio of academic, career technical education, mental health, and wraparound support programs. Academic offerings include a full range of departments (English, math, science, social sciences, foreign language, visual and performing arts, PE) plus the CTEC Center, Pirate Focus career planning curriculum built on the Get Focused Stay Focused 10-Year Plan system, and the Pirates at SEA early college access program with dual enrollment and articulated credit through Yuba College. CTE pathways span agriculture, construction, culinary arts, game design, and hospitality. Student support services include the Pirate Therapy Center, Zen Den wellness space, WeWork Center workforce readiness program, Foster and Homeless Youth Services (McKinney-Vento), Safe Harbor equity program, and Stay Safe Speak Up safety reporting. The district operates under California's District of Choice program for interdistrict transfers.

Funding is sourced from California state per-pupil allocations tied to Average Daily Attendance, federal Title and Impact Aid programs, and the locally passed Measure P $16,000,000 bond (2023) for Plumas Lake School Facility Improvement District #1 facilities construction. No tuition is charged. The technology stack is composed entirely of third-party commercial edtech products — Aeries for student information, GoFan for athletic ticketing, Raptor for visitor management, Apptegy for the website and mobile app, Public School Works for safety reporting, Power BI for a solar energy dashboard, HomeCampus for athletic clearance, and Adobe Sign for Impact Aid documentation. The district has earned a 3-year Gold Medal Award from Academic Innovations for GFSF implementation and Best Practices School recognition since 2014.
