Anderson Valley Unified Home

I am delighted to join the Anderson Valley Unified School District, the proud home of the Panthers! I come to AVUSD with over fifteen years of experience in school administration and a passion for igniting student learning. Thank you to those I have already met for the warm welcome!

 

Please also welcome Alyson McKay, principal of Anderson Valley Elementary School, and Heath McNerney, principal of Anderson Valley Jr-Sr High School. Our administrative team is thrilled to work alongside our students, staff, and community members as we build upon our district’s history of excellence.

 

Anderson Valley welcomes students from preschool through 12th grade and beyond in a two campus system nestled in the heart of one of the most beautiful valleys in Mendocino County. Our district features small classes and committed families and staff partnering to create educational opportunities for our students.  The local Anderson Valley Education Foundation is an integral part of our students' experience providing funding for incredible internships, travel, and field trip events and $400,000 in LOCAL scholarships shared by a senior graduating class of 20-40 students.  That doesn't happen in other places...  Join us and see all that your student can be...We welcome transfers.

 

A $13 million dollar bond was  passed and construction is currently underway at the Jr-Sr High School. Additionally, we received a $4.7 million dollar grant from Clean California / Caltrans for an all-weather track and soccer / football field for our school community. We are deeply grateful for the support of the local community and to former superintendent, Louise Simson, who has been the driving force behind the myriad improvements to our facilities. The best is yet to come!

 

We look forward to serving you!

 

Kristin Larson Balliet
