Garden Grove Unified School District

The Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD) is the third largest school district in Orange County, and the 11th largest in the State of California. GGUSD's enrollment boundaries allow the district to serve students in many central and northern Orange County communities, including: Anaheim, Cypress, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Stanton, and Westminster

GGUSD includes 47 elementary schools, 10 intermediate schools, seven high schools, two continuation schools and two special education 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 District (1921).

In 2004, GGUSD was honored with the Broad Prize for Excellence in Urban Education as the best urban school district in the United States. As a result, $500,000 in scholarships was awarded to GGUSD graduates. Twice before, the district had been a Broad Prize finalist.[1]

The superintendent of GGUSD is Gabriela Mafi.[2]
