Gilroy Unified School District is located in the southernmost tip of Santa Clara Valley, California.
The Gilroy Unified School District was created in 1966 when several small school districts joined together with the Gilroy School District. The other school districts included San Ysidro and Rucker. The school district currently consists of three high schools (Gilroy High, Mt. Madonna High, and the newest addition, Christopher High), eight elementary schools, (Antonio Del Buono, El Roble, Eliot, Glen View, Las Animas, Luigi Aprea, Rod Kelley and Rucker), three middle schools (Brownell, Solorsono, and South Valley) and one early college academy (GECA). One charter school, Gilroy Prep School, has been chartered by the School Board and opened in 2011 serving students grades K - 3. Their goal is to expand to serve grades K - 8.
