About the Employer

The District: WSCUHSD is located in Western Sonoma County stretching from the rural orchards and dairies north of Petaluma on up the coast to the historic reaches of Fort Ross. The District lies within the world famous wine, grape, and apple producing region of Sonoma County. The largest residential area in the District is the city of Sebastopol, located fifty miles north of San Francisco and 10 miles west of Santa Rosa. North of Sebastopol the communities of Forestville, Cazadero, Graton, Guerneville, Occidental, and Monte Rio offer a slower paced life style for middle-income families who work in the area. Our high schools serve students in grades 9-12 and have a combined enrollment of approximately 1600 students. WSCUHSD is the home of one (1) comprehensive high school, Analy High School, and one (1) continuation high school, Laguna High School. The District is also the LEA for the West Sonoma County Special Education and Student Services Consortium. Students who enter the District’s schools come from diverse experiences in ten elementary districts spread across the western part of the county. Strong parent and community support for education is evident as WSCUHSD students traditionally surpass state and national averages in academic achievement tests and college entrance exams. One-third of our students transfer to the District from neighboring areas attracted by arts, culinary, debate, college prep, agriculture, and student activities. Approximately 80% of the District graduates go on to attend a community college, four-year college, or business/trade school. WSCUHSD is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
