Empire Union School District Centennial

Past employee of Empire Union School District takes the mic,

District boundary includes most of South East Modesto and the community of Empire which is located in a small portion of unincorporated Stanislaus County. EUSD works in partnership with three local governments (Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, City of Modesto, and the Empire Municipal Advisory Council)  In addition we work in partnership with two law enforcement agencies (Modesto Police Department and Stanislaus County Sheriff Department).

In 1924, the ‘Empire Union Grammar School’, became what is known today as the ‘Empire Union School District’.  Over time as the City of Modesto continued to grow, so did the Empire Union School District.  Since the inception of its first school, the Empire Union School District has added Capistrano Elementary (1974); Sipherd Elementary (1978); Teel Middle School (1980); Hughes Elementary (1990); Stroud Elementary (1994); and Glick Middle School (2003).

For nearly 100 years, the Empire Union School District has maintained its commitment to being a place dedicated to each of our children, devoted to our whole community, defined by our ideals, and providing the finest elementary education in the Central Valley. Source EUSD website.

It was a treat to attend EUSD centennial. Many past educators and administrators were in the room.

We gave a basket full of art supplies to Empire Elementary with a limited edition of "A first gen Guide to Echale Ganas!"
