The Garden Grove Unified School District is one of the larger school districts in California. It composes 46 elementary schools, 10 intermediate schools, and 7 high schools.
GGUSD was formed in July 1965 from the merger of three districts, the Garden Grove Elementary School District (established 1874), the Alamitos School District (1880s) and the Garden Grove Union High School Districy 1921.
It serves most of the city of Garden Grove and portions of Anaheim, Cypress, Fountain Valley, Santa Ana, Stanton and Westminster. The GGUSD is the third-largest district in Orange County and 12th-largest in California.
In 2004 the GGUSD was honored with the Broad Prize as the best urban school district in the nation. As a result, $500,000 in scholarships were awarded to GGUSD grads. Twice before, the district had been a Broad Prize finalist.
The superintendent is Dr. Laura Schwalm.
