ABC Unified School District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ABC Unified School District is a school district that is based in Cerritos, California, United States.

ABCUSD serves the cities of Artesia, most of Cerritos, Hawaiian Gardens, the portion of Lakewood east of the San Gabriel River, as well as tiny portions of Long Beach, Norwalk, and La Mirada (the ABC portion of La Mirada contains only business areas, no residents).

"ABC" stands for Artesia (founded in 1875), Bloomfield (founded in 1885) and Carmenita (founded in 1902), three districts which were unified in 1965 [1].
