History

[edit]

Today the Elk Grove Unified School District's boundaries cover 320 square miles (830 km2), stretching almost from the Sacramento River to the foothills of Amador County.

The district is the result of the unification of smaller districts that date back to the 19th century.[6]

The elementary school district known as "Elk Grove" was formed in 1866 and is one of the oldest in the state of California. The Elk Grove Union High School District followed almost 30 years later opening in 1892.[7]

The unification of the Elk Grove district took place in 1959 under the leadership of County Superintendent T.R. Smedberg, a former superintendent of Elk Grove Union High School District. The elementary districts that unified with the high school district included: Elk Grove, Sierra-Enterprise, Franklin, Cosumnes, Dillard, Florin, and Pleasant Grove.[8]

Elk Grove Unified has only had six superintendents in its 62-year history.[9]

  • 1969 to 1983 – Glenn Houde
  • 1983 to 1995 – Robert L. Trigg
