As Ocean View School District welcomes students, families, and staff back for the 2026–27 school year, the District is looking ahead to a year filled with opportunities to strengthen student success, support employees, and deepen connections with the community.

Vista View Middle School has once again earned national recognition for its commitment to student achievement, innovation, and the creation of meaningful opportunities for all learners. The school was recently redesignated as a 2026 National School To Watch, an honor that recognizes high-performing middle schools that demonstrate academic excellence, developmental responsiveness, social equity, and strong organizational structures.

Local school districts in the Huntington Beach and surrounding areas are working together to create meaningful, connected learning experiences that benefit students from their earliest years through high school graduation. This collaboration was recently on display when Huntington Beach Union High School District Superintendent Dr. Carolee Ogata welcomed Fountain Valley School District Superintendent Dr. Katherine Stopp, Huntington Beach City School District Superintendent Dr. Leisa Winston, Ocean View School District Superintendent Dr. Julianne Hoefer, and Westminster School District Superintendent Dr. Gunn Marie Hansen for a visit to Westminster High School, one of seven HBUHSD campuses that serve students matriculating from these feeder elementary districts.

Over the last two months, we have had the privilege of honoring our 2026 District Classified School Employees of the Year. Congratulations to Francesca Baldelli, Administrative Assistant at the District Office; David Serrano, Head Custodian at Lake View; Fidel Jacobo Ayala, Lead Food Service Worker at Hope View; and Buu-Tram Nguyen, Parent Liaison Instructional Assistant at Star View.

It is truly an honor to share that the Ocean View School District Board of Trustees has received the Blue Door Community Partnership Award from the Boys & Girls Club of Huntington Valley. Earlier this school year, the Boys & Girls Club of Huntington Valley announced this recognition, highlighting the strength of our partnership and the meaningful impact we make together on behalf of students.

Beginning next school year, Ocean View School District will implement updated start and end times for our schools. These changes align with California’s school start time legislation and are designed to support student well-being and family schedules.

On December 9, the 67th day of school, OVSD campuses were buzzing with excitement as we celebrated a day that was equal parts meaningful and memorable. Because we know that being at school every day supports learning, growth, and academic success, we challenged our schools to a friendly Attendance Challenge with a fun twist. Instead of a typical reminder about the importance of showing up, we wanted to highlight a simple message in a big way: school is the best place to be.

On December 3, the California School Boards Association recognized Marine View for its outstanding VAPA program, an award that celebrates innovation, creativity, and impact. This is Marine View’s very first Golden Bell, and the seventh for Ocean View School District! What an amazing achievement!

Ocean View School District is proud to celebrate all 13 schools for being recognized with California PBIS Implementation Awards for 2025. These honors highlight the incredible work being done across the district to foster positive, supportive environments where students can thrive.
