Calaveras County has a rich heritage of education that dates back over 150 years. During the Gold Rush, small private schools fulfilled the educational needs of the families, and were often held in the homes of the teachers. After state legislature set up the framework for a public school system, Calaveras County soon had six schools in operation. Today, the schools within our county are among the finest in the state and continue to aim for excellence in education.
The mission of the Calaveras Unified School District is to provide all individuals with the tools needed to become life long learners who responsibly participate in our diverse changing society.
