Our District
The Eastside Union School District (EUSD) is a public Pre-K–8 district located in Lancaster, California, serving a diverse and vibrant community in the eastern portion of the Antelope Valley. EUSD includes four elementary schools—Columbia Elementary, Eastside Elementary, Tierra Bonita Elementary, and Enterprise Elementary—and one middle school, Gifford C. Cole Middle School. Additionally, the district operates Eastside Transitional Academy, an alternative program supporting students with unique needs.
