"A distinguished tradition of award-winning people and schools..."

Awards

Clovis Unified schools have been named 30 times to the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program* and honored 85 times as California Distinguished Schools. The District's Title I schools have also achieved distinction through the California Academic Achievement Award designation on 22 different occasions.

*The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program was formerly the National Exemplary Schools Program and the California Distinguished Schools Program was formerly the California Blue Ribbon Nominee Program.

Clovis Unified is the only school district in the nation to have three of its intermediate schools designated as Taking Center Stage - Schools to Watch.  Kastner and Alta Sierra intermediate schools were awarded the distinction in 2007 and redesignated in 2011, and Clark Intermediate was recognized in 2008 with the award.
