Welcome to the Templeton Unified School District - a unique and highly successful public school system.

Templeton students enjoy a rigorous and enriched educational experience designed to produce well-rounded citizens who are supported through individualized, personal relationships.  In the Templeton Unified School District, students move as a community-wide group to each of our schools from kindergarten through grade 12, allowing them to develop lifelong friendships while avoiding many of the social cliques present in many school systems today.  As was recently stated by one of our principals, "We are all Eagles!". 

Templeton students enjoy enrichment opportunities reminiscent of California in the 1950s rather than the stripped down educational offerings which plague so many schools today.  Templeton students receive art and music instruction beginning in kindergarten and continuing through high school.  Gifted and Talented programs begin in grade 3, providing opportunities for acceleration.  Templeton Elementary provides the "best introduction to school" for our youngest students.  In 2010 Templeton Middle School earned the highest Academic Performance Index (API) score in a 90 mile radius while Templeton High School and Vineyard Elementary School have both been recognized as National Blue Ribbon Schools.  Students at Templeton High School participate in award winning programs ranging from agriculture to welding to Mock Trial to athletics, culminating with the fact that THS offers more Advanced Placement courses per capita than any other school in the county.  Templeton Unified School District is able to fund these high quality programs due to a general fund commitment focused on students combined with community support which provides nearly $100,000 per year in private donations. 

Finally, Templeton Unified School District provides numerous alternative education placements for families who wish to pursue a non-traditional education.  We offer support to the home school community through our fully accredited K - 8 program.  Templeton offers an independent study high school program for students who wish to have greater convenience and individual control over the pace of their education.  Coming soon is an Early College program which will provide concurrent enrollment in high school and community college allowing students to earn credits toward an Associate's degree and/or transferable credits to a four year university. 

All of these tremendous opportunities are available as part of our public education system.  We invite you to see for yourself what Templeton has to offer by clicking on the links to our individual schools.  We think you'll like what you see.

We believe that all students in Templeton schools will develop to their fullest potential academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.  We are committed to providing all our students with a high quality, rigorous instructional program that includes a comprehensive curriculum within a safe and caring environment.
