IUSD had a strong showing at the recent National History Day-Orange County with 45 elementary, middle and high school projects winning top honors, the most of any school district in Orange County. These champions will now compete at National History Day-California on May 1-3 at Sacramento State University.

The MathCounts competition challenges students to problem-solve and engage in mathematical reasoning through collaborative math group work.

IUSD’s sustainability team is hosting the District’s Annual Earth Day Student Poster Contest, which is open to all IUSD students. This year’s theme is “Our Power, Our Planet: School and Community-led Climate Action.”

Each student engaged with full-length Holocaust survivor testimonies to learn more about their memories and stories to inspire the students' writings and works of art.

Each year, IUSD teachers and administrators work together to develop school calendars for the years ahead for both traditional and year-round schools. IUSD would like your feedback by April 6.

Lakeside, Rancho San Joaquin, Sierra Vista, South Lake and Venado middle schools, along with Irvine and Woodbridge high schools, have been named 2026 California Distinguished Schools. This designation is the state’s top honor for schools. 

This year’s PL Summit had the focus and theme of "The Human Side of Teaching in a Changing World: Fostering Belonging and Expanding Access for Diverse Learners." 

Congratulations to Jooha Lee, an eighth-grader from Beacon Park K-8 School, for placing third in the Orange County Spelling Bee! He was eliminated in round 11 on the word “pileus,” an umbrella-shaped cap found on many fungi such as mushrooms, and earned a $100 cash prize.

 The Irvine Public Schools Foundation (IPSF) and the City of Irvine offer affordable and high-quality programs that allow Irvine students to stay connected to others and keep their minds active.
