What Campbell Union High School District does

Campbell Union High School District (CUHSD) is a California public school district established in 1952 and headquartered at 3235 Union Avenue, San Jose. It operates six comprehensive high schools (Boynton, Branham, Del Mar, Leigh, Prospect, Westmont) plus the Camden Post-Secondary Program for students with disabilities, Campbell Adult & Community Education (CACE), and the Virtual Learning Academy. The district serves the communities of Campbell, Saratoga, Los Gatos, and portions of San Jose and Santa Clara in Santa Clara County.

CUHSD runs on a portfolio of standard EdTech platforms: Canvas for learning management, Aeries for student information, Google Workspace for Education, GoGuardian for web filtering and student safety, ParentSquare for family communications, Naviance for college and career readiness, and Odysseyware for credit recovery. These are integrated through the My CUHSD student portal with Clever single sign-on. Specialized academic programs include Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways (with 441 graduates in the 2024-2025 cohort), the English Language Development (ELD) Academy, and the Camden Post-Secondary partnership with West Valley College.

As a government entity, CUHSD is not a revenue-earning enterprise; it is funded through California's Local Control Funding Formula, local property taxes, parcel taxes (Measure O at $85/parcel, renewed through 2033), facility bond proceeds (Measure AA, 2016), developer fees on new construction, federal grants including ESSER III, and Education Protection Account monies. Services are free to district residents and include universal free meals. The only paid offerings sit with adult education and certain continuing education programs through partner channels.
