Leading toward a supportive learning environment

Fall 2026 ~

The Placer Union High School District (PUHSD) is eagerly anticipating another fantastic school year as we gear up for the 2026-27 academic year and extend a warm welcome to the Class of 2030, our new team members, and all of our returning students and staff!

PUHSD is focused on creating a supportive and stimulating environment where every student has the opportunity to flourish.  Each year, we offer programs and initiatives that emphasize innovation, culture, and the growth of our students.

Our Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways, AP and dual enrollment courses, and a variety of academic offerings provide students with opportunities to discover career options, challenge themselves, and earn college credits while in high school. Our arts and music programs inspire creativity through engaging projects and performances. Extra-curricular activities and events provide our students with a chance to explore their passions, develop leadership skills, and form lifelong friendships. Whether it's through sports, clubs, or programs, these activities enrich our students' educational experiences and contribute to their overall personal growth. We are proud of the well-rounded education PUHSD offers, ensuring our students are prepared for both academic and personal success. Whether in a traditional classroom setting, attending one of our alternative education programs, or through our online virtual charter academy, PUHSD has a place for every student to learn, grow, and thrive. 

Community involvement remains a cornerstone of our District. We invite parents, guardians, and community members to participate in school events, strengthening the connections that make PUHSD a vibrant and supportive place for learning.

As we embark on this new academic year, let's work together to make it a memorable and impactful journey for all our students. Here's to a fantastic year ahead!
