About Us

HBCSD Students

Located in Huntington Beach, California, our district encompasses eight schools and a preschool program, where we proudly offer many educational opportunities. From our six elementary schools (TK-5) to our two middle schools (6-8) and our Preschool Academy, we provide students with a rich and rigorous learning experience. At HBCSD, education goes beyond textbooks and the classroom. We believe in the whole child and nurturing well-rounded individuals by providing students with opportunities to experience diverse activities. From academics and career technical education in STEAM to athletics, arts, and extracurricular activities, we empower students to explore their passions and develop valuable skills for future success while fostering their social-emotional growth.

SUPERINTENDENT DR. LEISA WINSTON’S MESSAGE      

I am proud to serve the Huntington Beach City School District (HBCSD) as your Superintendent and am pleased to share the District’s Strategic Plan for 2022-2027. This document is a culmination of more than a year’s work by the HBCSD Board of Trustees, staff, parents, and community partners.

The guiding ideas of our refreshed mission and vision, new learner profile, and strategic plan will help launch us into a hopeful future – a future in which our HBCSD community of students, staff, and families thrive.

This plan will guide our work together through 2027 by establishing focus areas for our District, identifying specific priority goals based on data, and developing a framework to measure progress.

We appreciate our students, staff, and community’s engagement and contributions to this important work – we couldn’t do it without you. I am confident that with the partnership of our entire HBCSD community, we can ignite young minds to reach for a bright future!
