Superintendent's Message

Dear Westminster School District Community,
Spring is a season of growth, and across WSD, that growth is visible in our students' achievements, our staff's dedication, and the strength of our community partnerships.
This year, we celebrate important milestones: Stacey Middle School has been named a 2026 California Distinguished School, and Warner Middle School earned the CABE Seal of Excellence for its Dual Language Immersion program. These honors reflect both high achievement and our commitment to equity—ensuring every student is supported, challenged, and empowered.
Our work continues to expand in meaningful ways. A new TK–8 mathematics curriculum is strengthening problem-solving and real-world learning, while innovative enrollment efforts are bringing access directly into our communities. We are building systems that serve the whole child and every family.
Behind every accomplishment are the people who make it possible. Through cultural celebrations like Tết, literacy initiatives during Read Across America Week, and a daily commitment to safe and welcoming campuses, our educators, families, and community partners are shaping something enduring together.
As we move through the remainder of the year, I am deeply grateful for your partnership. Together, we are achieving strong results—and building a district where every student has a feeling of belonging, purpose, and possibility.
Kind Regards,
Gunn Marie Hansen, Ph.D. Superintendent
Your Family Is Our Partner at Every Step
At Westminster School District, we believe your family was your child's first educator — and that partnership is exactly what makes our students thrive. From free before and after-school care to parent leadership training at every school, WSD is built around you.
Setting the Standard: WSD's Award-Winning Schools
Westminster School District made history when all three middle schools earned the national Schools to Watch award in the same year in 2025— a first for any district in the country. When you enroll in WSD, you're choosing a community of schools recognized for excellence, innovation, and a proven commitment to your child's future.
