WELCOME TO SAN RAFAEL CITY SCHOOLS
Our Values: Equity, Community and Joy
In March 2024, the Board of Education reaffirmed the surplus designation of four district properties - McPhail, Glenwood Marsh, Old Gallinas and the North Corporation Yard. Board action declaring a property surplus, or reaffirming that a property continues to remain surplus, does not mean that it necessarily will be leased or sold. Authorizing District staff to solicit interest in various disposition mechanisms provides the Board with numerous options to consider, allowing for an informed decision about whether to retain or dispose of one or more of the sites in the future. More information.
San Rafael City Schools includes the San Rafael Elementary School District and the San Rafael High School District, with a total student population of approximately 7,000. The two districts are governed by one school board and one district office administration. The district consists of 6 TK-5 schools, a TK-8 school, a middle school, two comprehensive high schools and a continuation high school.
Grounded in our vision for student success, we undertook an extensive journey with our greater community to develop our strategic plan - Together 2024. It describes our District values of equity, community and joy, as well as our culture, goals and strategic actions. The District's Graduate Profile articulates the skills needed to succeed in this rapidly changing world, and we committed to developing these skills so every student graduates ready to pursue their goals.
Building for Student Success
Progress is underway to update and modernize our schools to create safe, innovative learning environments and instructional technology that support 21st century learning. Our facilities have blossomed over the last eight years and additional projects are ahead to further enhance our schools. We're grateful to our community for generously approving bond measures to support this work!
Our Strategic Plan
Grounded in our vision for student success, we undertook an extensive journey with our greater SRCS community to develop our new three-year strategic plan - Together 2024. The plan articulates our District's values, culture, Graduate Profile, goals and strategic actions, which guide our work to ensure all students achieve and thrive to their fullest potential.
SRCS is proud and grateful to partner with HeadsUp, the San Rafael Public Education Foundation. HeadsUp brings critical enrichment and support programs to our schools, providing equitable opportunities for our students while building community district-wide.
