Willits Unified School District proudly serves approximately 1,530 students across six schools in the heart of Mendocino County, where towering redwoods, breathtaking natural beauty, and a strong sense of community create an exceptional place to learn and grow. We are committed to providing innovative, student-centered educational opportunities that inspire curiosity, foster achievement, and prepare students for lifelong success.

From strong academic programs and 1:1 classroom technology to flexible independent study opportunities and a necessary small school, Willits Unified provides personalized pathways designed to meet the unique needs of every learner. Our Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways provide students with hands-on learning experiences, industry-relevant skills, and career exploration opportunities that prepare them for success in college, the workforce, and beyond.

Through our partnership with Mendocino College, Willits High School's Dual Enrollment Program allows students to earn college credit while completing their high school education. By expanding access to college-level coursework close to home, students can accelerate their educational journey, reduce future college costs, and gain a head start on achieving their academic and career goals.

Our dedicated Special Education Department is committed to ensuring every student has access to a high-quality education through individualized services, inclusive practices, and collaborative support for students and families. We are equally proud to offer Adult Education, providing lifelong learning opportunities that help community members build new skills, earn certifications, complete educational goals, and advance their careers.

At Willits Unified, our dedicated educators, supportive families, and strong community partnerships create safe, inclusive, and welcoming schools where every student is known, valued, and empowered to succeed. We believe education extends beyond the classroom, fostering confident learners, compassionate leaders, and engaged citizens who are prepared to make a positive impact in their communities and the world.
