San Bernardino City Unified School District

Today, we proudly recognize Juneteenth National Independence Day, a historic celebration of freedom and resilience.

The Board of Education of the San Bernardino City Unified School District recognizes June 19 as Juneteenth National Independence Day and joins communities across California and the nation in honoring this important day.

As we celebrate, we reflect on the significant contributions African Americans have made throughout our nation’s history and their enduring commitment to advancing freedom, unity, equality, and opportunity for all.

In observance of Juneteenth, all SBCUSD school sites and district offices will be closed today.

Today, SBCUSD celebrated the groundbreaking of Fire Station 227, a new San Bernardino County Fire station built adjacent to Arrowhead Elementary School through a unique partnership. While the fire station and the school operate independently, they now share a campus in a way that strengthens both public safety and the educational community.

Thanks to the leadership and vision of Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr., this collaboration also made possible a brand-new playground for Arrowhead Elementary students. Even more meaningful, from the start of this partnership, students and families helped shape the vision by sharing what they wanted to see in the space.

When schools and local government work together, everyone benefits. This partnership demonstrates what’s possible when we invest in both the safety of our neighborhoods and the success of our students.


Hoy, SBCUSD celebró la gran inauguración de la Estación de Bomberos 227, una nueva estación del Departamento de Bomberos del Condado de San Bernardino construida junto a Arrowhead Elementary School a través de una alianza única.

Aunque la estación de bomberos y la escuela operan de manera independiente, ahora comparten un mismo terreno de una manera que fortalece tanto la seguridad pública como la comunidad educativa.

Gracias al liderazgo y la visión del supervisor del Quinto Distrito, Joe Baca Jr., esta colaboración también hizo posible la construcción de un nuevo patio para los estudiantes de Arrowhead Elementary School. Aún más significativo, desde el inicio de esta alianza, los estudiantes y las familias ayudaron a dar forma a la visión del proyecto al compartir lo que deseaban ver en este espacio.

Cuando las escuelas y los gobiernos locales trabajan juntos, todos se benefician. Esta colaboración demuestra lo que es posible cuando invertimos tanto en la seguridad de nuestros vecindarios como en el éxito de nuestros estudiantes.
