We are very happy to announce that Mrs. Shannon Garibay will serve as Krystal School's new principal. Mrs. Garibay is excited to meet our students and families. Please help us welcome her to the best school in the high desert. We also wish Mrs. Amanda Arceo well in her new role as the Coordinator of Professional Development and Induction at the district office.
Hesperia Unified School District is pleased to announce that we will be using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools as part of our campus safety programs for students and faculty. All visitors, volunteers, and visiting staff will be asked to present a government-issued ID, such as a Driver’s License, state ID, etc. The Raptor system only checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded. The system is not connected to any other database such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, and information is not shared with any outside agency.
This implementation will help increase the efficiency in our offices, allowing District-approved volunteers to spend their valuable time in classrooms instead of in the front office. Thank you, in advance, for your support in enhancing safety in our schools.
#IMPACTtheFutureHUSD
We look forward to welcoming you back to school on August 12! Here are a few changes you need to know about for the first day of school.

-Due to changes to the district program, Krystal School will no longer offer Saturday School.
-Look for information to come home regarding our new process for visitors signing in. Don’t forget your ID any time you plan on visiting or volunteering on our campus.

Hesperia Unified School District serves and educates over 23,000 children in the City of Hesperia and adjacent areas in the high desert of San Bernardino County. Though our students continue to achieve at a high level, many of our school facilities are outdated and require repairs and upgrades to continue to serve our community well. The District is currently in the process of evaluating our local schools’ facility needs. The scope of improvements identified is far more than the current funding sources available, so the HUSD Governing Board is considering all options for addressing those needs. Community input is a critical component of this ongoing process as we continue to plan for the future of our schools. Please make your voice heard and complete the following online survey to let us know your priorities for our local schools.
