What Acalanes High School does

Acalanes High School is one of five comprehensive public high schools operated by the Acalanes Union High School District (AUHSD), a California public school district headquartered at 1212 Pleasant Hill Road in Lafayette, California. The district serves secondary school students in Grades 9-12 across its campuses — Acalanes, Campolindo, Las Lomas, and Miramonte — and supplements them with the Acalanes Center for Independent Study and Acalanes Adult Education programs. Educational offerings include college preparatory coursework aligned with UC/CSU A-G requirements, Advanced Placement courses, Career Technical Education pathways, visual and performing arts, Special Education and Section 504 services, English Learners support (ELPAC), the WorkAbility transitional program, Unified Sports, and summer school. Governing authority rests with an elected Board of Trustees operating under California Department of Education oversight.

The district's operational technology stack is composed entirely of third-party SaaS platforms rather than proprietary systems: Aeries for student information, Canvas for learning management with SAML-based SSO, Clever for single sign-on, ParentSquare for parent and community communications, Finalsite for district website content management, and School Nutrition and Fitness for food services. There are no disclosed proprietary technology assets, patents, or in-house AI/ML capabilities. The "Artificial Intelligence" section under Educational Services is the only signal of forward-looking AI policy activity.

As a public education entity, AUHSD does not generate commercial revenue. Funding flows from California state education apportionments, local parcel taxes levied on property owners (Measures G & A, with Measure T pending in 2025), Bond Measure E proceeds supporting a Capital Facilities Modernization Plan, athletic registration fees, and facility rental income. Customer segments are limited to residents within the district's statutory attendance boundaries plus adult learners; the district holds a regulatory monopoly over secondary public education for that geography, and pricing/tuition is set at zero for in-boundary students.
