Gabilan Hills Elementary School

The mission of the Hollister School District is to prepare each student for future success. Hollister is a growing community that still offers its residents the solitude of beautiful hills, open meadows, and a safe and relaxing quality of life. The Hollister School District is committed to academic excellence. The board-adopted guiding principles for the district are:

We belie every student, everyday, by name, by need will succeed
We believe in embracing the uniqueness of every child
We believe partnerships among all stakeholders must be valued and respected
We believe in community advocacy for the whole child
We believe that each student is everyone's responsibility
We believe that things that are measured get done
The district serves a student population of about 5,500 students. Around 40% of our student are English Learners. Much effort is given to support effective instruction practices which provide our students with a child-centered, standards-based education that also creates critical, creative thinkers. With open communication between schools and the community, strong support from parents, and clearly defined educational goals, we believe that all children will have the opportunity to meet their full potential and be productive members of society.
