Our mission is to provide equitable, world-class educational opportunities for our diverse population of students in a safe, healthy and effective learning environment through a collaborative commitment of students, family, school district staff and community.

Surrounded by the picturesque Ortega Mountains in Riverside County’s fastest-growing region, the district covers 140 square miles and serves more than 22,000 children from Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Wildomar, Horsethief Canyon and the surrounding areas. Read more about the district.

Our students are the highest priority in all we do. That’s the top core value articulated in our recently adopted Strategic Plan. The comprehensive document was drafted by a collaborative group of more than 50 students, parents, teachers, classified employees, district administrators and community representatives and guides everything the Lake Elsinore Unified School District does.
