Arena Elementary School

Arena Elementary School serves students from Gualala to Manchester, and the Point Arena/Manchester Band of Pomo Indians Rancherias.  Arena Union Elementary School was honored as one of California Gold Ribbon Schools! The only elementary school in Mendocino to receive this award.

Point Arena is located 140 miles north of San Francisco on the beautiful coastline of southern Mendocino County.  Gray whales migrate along the shore, and the majestic coastal ridge range is covered with redwood and Douglas Fir.  Local industry includes fishing, dairy and beef farming, tourism and agriculture.  Point Arena and adjacent communities are home to many artists, poets and musicians, and offer high quality art shows, concerts and community activities that draw locals and a regular stream of visitors from the Bay Area and beyond.
