The Chula Vista Elementary School District celebrates 130 years as a school district this year. This month, we officially launch our 130-year anniversary campaign. One hundred and thirty years ago, the District opened its doors to eager students ready to embark on an educational journey. Back then, with the start of a new century looming, the possibilities of what to come were foremost in the minds of students, staff, and the community. Quality public education was still a relatively new concept at the time, but the intention of preparing students for emerging opportunities informed teaching and learning. We continue to live out that mission today and build upon a legacy of academic excellence.
As we celebrate 130 years, we honor the past and look forward to the future. Our achievements as a District are undeniable. From our high-quality instruction, a technology-based curriculum, innovative programming, and strong visual and performing arts, we provide a highly sought-after education for all students. While we mark this milestone in our District’s history, we also have definitive, and defining, plans for our future. This year the District’s focus is on teaching and learning with a vision of purpose. The success of all our students is the District’s top priority.
On October 20, 2022, the Chula Vista Elementary School District will host a 130th-anniversary celebration event at Hedenkamp Elementary School for all community members to attend. The free event will take place from 5 pm to 7 pm, where we will recognize students, staff, and individuals who have impacted the District over the years. The District looks forward to celebrating with all community members the success of our District.
Additionally, we will be posting about the District’s history on our social media sites throughout the 2022-23 school year. Follow and like our social media pages to keep up with the campaign. If you have a story, photos or videos you would like to share please send them to the Communications Office at [email protected].
We look forward to celebrating with you then.
