Established in 1950 in San Jose, the East Side Union High School District (ESUHSD) serves over 24,000 high school students- the largest high school enrollment in northern California. Our highly diverse community has a tradition of involvement and interest in its schools and we have become known among students and parents alike for our robust career technical education programs and partnerships with higher education and growing industries throughout Silicon Valley.
In addition to standard tests, we ask students to complete performance tasks that demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving. By applying their knowledge and skills to real-world problems, we help all students thrive in high school and enjoy continued success well beyond graduation.

Based in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley, the East Side High School District is home to more than 574,500 people. The curriculum in our schools reflect our community’s rich cultural and ethnic diversity. Students also benefit from our strong partnerships with local community colleges, businesses and four-year colleges/universities.
