📚🐾 Panther Pride in Action!
Our Hesperia Panther high school football players spent time in the elementary classrooms today, reading with our youngest learners and spreading smiles throughout the halls! 💚🤍
At Hesperia Community Schools, we’re proud to create meaningful opportunities for students to connect across all grade levels — building community, leadership, and Panther Pride every step of the way.
To send your own Boooo Gram, watch for a form coming home from elementary students soon! Middle and high school students can pick up a form in the MS/HS offices.
Just a friendly reminder of our upcoming Fall Break:

On November 4, 2025, Hesperia voters will have the opportunity to vote on a bond initiative that would help the district generate $11.7 million to fund districtwide facility upgrades for current and future generations of Panther students. It is expected that the bond initiative would result in NO INCREASE above the current debt millage rate, ensuring that our district could continue to improve our schools without raising debt tax rates above 2024 levels for our community!
