Yosemite Unified School District

Welcome to the Yosemite Unified School District web site. We are pleased to share information about our district and schools. Our 13 schools serve approximately 2500 students and cover a large geographic area of approximately 850 square miles. The communities in our district include the following:    Ahwahnee, Bass Lake, Coarsegold, Fish Camp, Oakhurst, Raymond and Wawona. Good schools contribute to good communities. Our students, parents, teachers, principals, administrators, support staff and Board of Education are committed to quality instructional programs and have high expectations for student achievement. We are equally committed to professional development for our staff, a learning environment that welcomes the community into our schools, and teaches that we are part of the community and a home/school partnership that serves as a foundation for our success.

This web site will provide you with important information about the district and answer frequently asked questions.
