School Accountability Report Cards- The SARC's for the 11/12 school year are now available on line. Paper copies are also available in each of our school offices. These reports are required annually by the state of California. They are designed to provide the public with important information about each of our schools and to communicate each school's progress towards achieving its goals. The SARC's mainly focus on information from the prior school year. They are posted on the District's website at http://www.husd.com/Overview. If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact the principal of your child's school.
