Delano Adult School (DJUHSD.ORG)

The Delano Joint Union High School District is a District of rich tradition, high expectations, and a century of outstanding achievement. Delano High School began in 1911 with fourteen students and two teachers. Over 100 years later, our District serves more than 4200 students and employs over 400 dedicated employees. Cesar E. Chavez opened its doors in 2003 and Robert F. Kennedy, our newest school, began in 2008. In addition, we have an alternative site, Valley High School, and an adult education agency which serves over 1200 students from Delano and the outlying area. Our schools are all high achieving schools. Both Delano High School and Cesar E. Chavez High School were named as California Distinguished Schools in 2011 and again in 2019. All three comprehensive sites have been named by U.S. News and World Report as America’s Best High Schools, either at the Silver or Bronze level; Cesar E. Chavez is a Title 1 Academic Achievement Award winner, as well as a National Title 1 Distinguished School. Valley High School was recently named as a Model Continuation School. In 2019, the Delano Joint Union High School District was recognized as a California Exemplary District.
