About Moreland School District

“The best kept secret in educational circles” is what the San Jose Mercury News dubbed Moreland School District when it was rated the “number one school district in Santa Clara County.”

Today, a decade later, Moreland continues to shine as a model of educational excellence. Standardized test scores, polling surveys, and other measures continue to bear witness to the quality that has marked the school district since its origin in 1851. Among the many recent accomplishments:

All six Moreland Schools have been designated California Distinguished Schools by the California Department of Education.

The California School Boards Association bestowed the Glenn Hoffman Exemplary Program Award to Moreland's Visual and Performing Arts program.

District administrators have received outstanding leadership awards from San Jose State University, the California School Libraries Association, and Women Leaders in Education.

Moreland has received generous support from the Noyce Foundation, Packard Foundation, City of San Jose, Westgate Mall, United Way, Moreland Educational Foundation, and many other corporations and organizations.
