Why Helendale
What people tell us keeps them here.Small District, Real Impact
Decisions get made close to the classroom, staff know students by name, and good ideas do not have to travel through six layers to be heard.
The Community
Helendale is a close-knit high desert town of roughly five thousand along historic Route 66, with golf, hiking, off-roading, and kayaking on Silver Lakes. Victorville, Apple Valley, and Barstow are a short drive, and Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead, Palm Springs, and Las Vegas are all easy trips.
Benefits & Retirement
Eligible positions include medical benefits through California's Valued Trust, along with CalSTRS retirement for certificated staff and CalPERS for classified staff. Specifics are listed on each posting.
A Culture of Recognition
Our RAVE Review program lets anyone recognize a colleague who went above and beyond, and the person recognized receives a certificate signed by district leadership. Appreciation here is a habit, not an annual event.
