Mountain Empire Unified School District is a public education administrator serving a large rural area in the southeastern corner of San Diego County. Based in Pine Valley, California, it spans more than 660 square miles and lies near the border with Baja California to the south and Imperial County to the east. The district traces its educational work to 1923 and was unified in 1952. It runs a multi-level system that includes four elementary schools for Pre-K through 6th grade, two middle schools for 7th and 8th, and one high school, along with an Alternative Education Program that encompasses independent study, a continuation high school, and a community day school, plus two state preschools and a Head Start preschool. The rural geography requires extensive bus transportation but provides a spacious environment that supports learning.
