Westminster School District has received numerous prestigious awards, including the California Pivotal Practice awards for 13 of their schools and the district office, CSBA Golden Bell, Title I Schools, CA Distinguished school. California Association of Bilingual Education Awards (CABE) for our Dual Language Immersion Programs, and high achieving staff that garner national recognition.

The district's commitment to leading the way as the premier Pre K-8th grade school district in Orange County, CA by providing exceptional and innovative experiences where all learners thrive.

As we embark on a new year, I’m grateful to acknowledge the incredible achievements and events that have recently taken place in
our Westminster School District community. Our students and staff continue to exemplify excellence, creativity, and community spirit
in all they do. I want to extend my congratulations to our talented students from Johnson and Stacey Middle Schools who participated
in the City of Westminster’s Tree Lighting Ceremony. Their performances brought joy and festivity to our community, capturing the spirit of the holiday season. In an exciting new project, WSD, in partnership with the WSD Education Foundation, hosted our first annual
Pickleball tournament. The event was an overwhelming success, raising over $10,000 in its inaugural year. All proceeds go directly to our students! This remarkable achievement demonstrates the strength of our community and its commitment to supporting our schools.
I’m particularly proud to announce that Sequoia Academy has been honored with the prestigious Golden Bell Award for their exemplary Arts STEAM program.

Fire victims receive immediate no-cost in-person school and other family resources from Westminster School District

Westminster, CA – In order to serve the displaced families affected by the Los Angeles fires, the Westminster School District (WSD) is offering immediate in-person school transfers, whether short-term or long-term. Families seeking assistance may contact Westminster School District for immediate enrollment and support by contacting Brittany Patterson: tel. (714) 894-7311 ext. 1072, bpatterson@wsdk8.us.

"WSD is here to help you attend school in-person without interruption," said Superintendent Dr. Hansen. "Any student displaced by the wildfires is welcome to enroll with us, even on a temporary basis. We have plenty of resources to share with your family."

To support fellow neighbors in their time of need, WSD is also extending assistance to families and students impacted by the recent fires. WSD opened its no-cost family boutique two years ago and has received hundreds of thousands of donations, which WSD will donate to all families in need.
