Eureka Union School District strives for every student to leave the district with the skills necessary to be ready to succeed in high school, college, and beyond. Instilling the values and teaching the skills to students to prepare them for college and career readiness: academically, socially, and emotionally. EUSD values all components of their students, and knows that when a student has social and emotional difficulties occurring in their lives, that they are unable to access learning. Every school in the district has a school counselor, with the goal being to increase: academic success, appropriate social interactions, and attendance.
