Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Hollister School District, located in beautiful San Benito County. Hollister is just a short drive from the majestic Pinnacles National Park and Hollister Hills State Vehicular Recreation area. From Hollister to the west you are not far from the beautiful beaches of Santa Cruz and Monterey and the rugged coastline of Carmel and Big Sur. Hollister is

a growing community that offers its residents the solitude of beautiful hills, open meadows, and a safe and relaxing quality of life. Much effort is given to support effective instructional practices which provide our students with a child-centered, standards-based education of the highest quality. The district's classroom instruction is aligned with state content standards and assessments. We are committed to providing our students a learning environment that is rigorous in academic standards, rich in cultural diversity, and provides students with a child-centered, thinking curriculum. With open communications between our schools, and its community, strong support from parents, and clearly defined educational goals, we believe that all children will have the opportunity to meet their full potential and be productive members of society. The district serves a student population of about 5,600 students. There are five elementary schools (K-6), a K-8 school, two middle schools (7-8), a Dual Language Immersion Academy (K-6, Spanish/English) and an Accelerated Achievement Academy (4-8). The Hollister Dual Language Academy became a California distinguished School in 2012. The Accelerated Achievement Academy became a California Distinguished School in 2013. The District employs more than 560 staff members, including certificated and classified employees, substitutes and others. The district provides its employees extensive professional development opportunities for experienced teachers and newly inducted teachers are supported through the Santa Cruz New Teacher Project.
