New Haven Unified School District

What New Haven Unified School District does

New Haven Unified School District (NHUSD) is a California public K-12 school district headquartered at 34200 Alvarado-Niles Rd., Union City, and serving the communities of Union City and South Hayward. The district operates multiple school sites spanning elementary, middle, and high school, including James Logan High School (ranked in the top 15% of U.S. high schools), New Haven Academy and Conley-Caraballo High School (alternative education pathways), Cesar Chavez Middle School (undergoing a board-authorized renaming process as of April 2026), and an adult education program (New Haven Adult School). NHUSD also delivers special education, mental health and wellness supports, and family services through its district-operated Union City Family Center, and operates before/after-school enrichment through a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of San Leandro.

The district's core service is the provision of free public K-12 education; ancillary fee-based revenue exists for programs such as Beyond The Bell child care, cafeteria meals, and facility rentals, but these are not the primary economic engine. As a government state entity, NHUSD is funded primarily through California's Local Control Funding Formula, state and federal categorical programs, and local bond/parcel-tax proceeds — not through commercial customer sales — and is governed by an elected Board of Education under the leadership of Superintendent John Thompson, Ed.D. Total staff count is 655.

NHUSD's technology footprint consists entirely of standard off-the-shelf education-sector platforms: Aeries as the student information system with parent and student portals, ParentSquare for district-wide family communications, Chromebooks as the student-device standard with optional insurance, EdJoin for employment recruitment, and Simbli (eBoardSolutions) for board agenda and meeting management. CalPERS handles retiree health-benefit enrollment. The district maintains an official website (mynhusd.org) plus Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channels for community engagement, and the superintendent publishes multilingual Friday updates. No proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, API offerings, patents, or trademarks are disclosed, and there are no subsidiaries, parent companies, M&A activity, or funding rounds — consistent with NHUSD's status as a publicly funded, independently governed educational entity rather than a commercial enterprise.
