Encinitas: Our History and People

E. G. Hammond. Fifteen children, more or less,
were taught together in this one-room
schoolhouse with all ages taught by one teacher.
After much fundraising and lots of hard work,
the old schoolhouse now serves as a historical
center for Encinitas school children and residents
and is located near downtown Encinitas. To learn
more about the history of Encinitas, visit the City
of Encinitas website.
The four pillars of focus for the district are:
Academic Excellence, 21st Century Learning, Health
& Wellness, and Environmental Stewardship.
Encinitas Union School District consistently
rates high in the state and county for their
student achievement and supplemental
programs. Scores on the state’s standardized
tests place our district far above the county and
state average in all subjects.
Encinitas’ school history of recognition for
outstanding schools is a tribute to the efforts of the
Encinitas staff, students, community participants,
and parents who are actively involved with the
schools. Like the diverse communities that make
us Encinitas, our schools each embody the
characteristics and values of their neighborhoods.
Individual areas of focus and concentration
support unique brands. Within the district we
have schools that have developed individual
programs such as Leader In Me, International
Baccaulareate, Dual Language Immersion, School
of Wonder, Civics Learning, one with a focus on
the Collaboration of Teachers and Artists.
The Encinitas Union School District is
committed to increasing the opportunities for
our K-6 teachers and students to work
collaboratively with parents and community
members in the areas of science, technology,
engineering, mathematics, and the arts.
In 2014, the Encinitas Union School District
broke ground on Farm Lab DREAMS Campus.
Students have a new educational resource
emerging at EUSD Farm Lab DREAMS Campus.
Fitting in with the district’s Green Initiatives and
Health and Wellness Program, the ten-acre farm
and interactive learning center provides
educational retreats for students. Educational
