Thank you for your interest in Pacheco Union School District. We are located in the semi-rural region of Shasta County between the cities of Redding and Anderson. We have two schools, Prairie, a TK-3 school serves about 320 students, and Pacheco has approximately 370 students in grades 4-8. We work closely with parents and have the most active parent club in Shasta County. Our Parent Club (PPPTG) Pacheco Prairie Parent Teacher Group offers students a wide realm of opportunities; from field trips to our all-district Winter Workshop, Parent Club provides students valid and fun learning opportunities. In addition to Parent Club we also offer an Education Foundation (AAAF) Academics Arts Athletics Foundation. This foundation offers several fund-raising opportunities throughout the year and the fundraising goes to after school clubs such as (POPS) Performers of Prairie/Pacheco School, academic endeavors, and athletics. We have a reputation for academic excellence provided with a gracious touch. We believe in our mission, "Preparing students to be confident and empowered leaders for tomorrow's world. We are fortunate to have an excellent staff who are dedicated, caring, and capable. Prairie offers very strong, balanced programs in reading and math with a goal of having all students at grade level or above in both math and reading. Pacheco builds on this base of knowledge and provides students with the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge while applying problem solving and critical thinking techniques to a variety of challenging subjects. Basic skills and state standards are stressed throughout all grades, along with a variety of engaging teaching strategies, and technology that will lead your child into today's global economy.
