“A distinguished tradition of award-winning people and schools…“

Clovis Unified schools have been named numerous times to the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program (formerly the National Exemplary Schools Program) and honored more than 100 times as California Distinguished Schools (Currently California Blue Ribbon Schools). The District’s Title I schools have also achieved distinction through multiple recognitions as California Academic Achievement Award winners.

One of only a handful of districts in California to be named an Honor Roll School District by California Businesses for Excellence in Education, the District is also one of a few districts in the nation recognized as a "District to Watch," with all of our intermediate schools designated as Taking Center Stage – Schools to Watch.
