Education
Introduction
Schools attended by children living aboard MCAGCC fall under the Morongo Unified School District (MUSD). There are no DOD schools. MUSD has 1,100 employees who provide services to 9,301 students in the high desert of San Bernardino County.
Currently, MUSD has eleven elementary schools, two middle schools, two comprehensive high schools, two continuation high schools, two state preschool programs, and a special education preschool program. Striving to meet the needs of a diverse student body, the District provides a wide array of programs, including special education, English Language Learners Program, athletics, advanced placement, GATE, and many others.
The emphasis on learning requires an outstanding instructional staff. Teachers are encouraged to develop and maintain their career skills and are assisted in doing so. For post-graduate study, advanced classes are offered locally through Chapman and National Universities, California State University at San Bernardino has a satellite campus in Palm Desert and Cal State Coachella Valley campus is under construction. The University of California at Riverside, the University of Redlands, and Loma Linda University are less than a two-hour drive away and are popular with the MUSD staff.
For more information on class sizes, grading systems, etc. please see the MUSD website or visit the Great Schools website.
