With rapid advances in technology continuing to transform the workplace, many parents and students may be asking what is needed to succeed in future careers.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2026-27 school year is officially open and comes with a few updates.

IUSD continues its tradition of excellence, with state standardized assessment scores outperforming both state and Orange County averages. IUSD ranked No. 1 in California in Science, Mathematics, and English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA) for public school districts with 35,000 or more students.

IUSD's College, Career and Life Readiness Fair is on October 28 from 5-7 p.m. at Irvine High School (4321 Walnut Avenue, Irvine). All students, families and community members are invited to this free event.

In the recently released U.S. News & World Report rankings of “Best High Schools,” all five of IUSD’s comprehensive high schools were ranked within the top 5% of all California high schools.

IUSD is honored to have served you during these important years. Best wishes as you move forward into the next chapter of your lives.
