Our school community has a close relationship with Los Medanos Community College, which is located in the heart of Pittsburg. In addition, we have cooperative student teaching agreements with California State University East Bay and San Francisco State, UC Berkeley, JFK University, St. Mary’s College and Chapman College.

Our community values the quality of their school system and the opportunities provided to all children. We are thankful to our community that has supported our school district in the passage of our most recent bond measures. In August 2010, the district opened a new facility at 1750 Harbor St. to serve the Pittsburg High School students.
