Central Union Elementary School District is located in Lemoore, California, in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley about 45 minutes south of Fresno, halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The communities of Central, Stratford, and the City of Lemoore are rich with history, tradition, and warm, caring people. The District resides in a rich agricultural area, which has two Federal facilities within its boundaries: the Santa Rosa Rancheria Indian Reservation and the Lemoore Naval Air Station. The economic structure of the area is based upon farming, primarily cotton, grains, some dairy, and the U.S. Military. The District is comprised of four schools. All have been California Distinguished Schools and two of the schools were honored as National Blue Ribbon Schools. All of the schools operate on a traditional calendar. The District is sensitive to the specific needs of the students it serves in kindergarten through eighth grade. For the 2006-2007 school year District enrollment is 1,957 students.

Leadership in Central School District is provided by a seven-member board. Board members take an active part in the education of all Central children.

Central is very proud of its technology program. Students and staff have accessibility to technology regularly.

The District has four school site library/media centers with over 55,000 books for students to check out, 32 magazine subscriptions, and over 3190 software programs, videos, and digital media. At each school site, there is a minimum of 3 computers assigned to the classrooms, and some classes are equipped with a mini lab of 6-10 computers. The District maintains ten (10) Macintosh OS X Servers and two (2) Macintosh OS X Database Server. These servers provide student and administration access to data on the network, as well as providing access to the Internet via the Wireless WAN connection. Two of these servers also maintain the e-mail system and the Web/Streaming Video server. In addition, the District has a LightSpeed Filter to monitor and filter all content being sent and received by student.

We are small in size but large in education, commitment, and success.
