Our New Building Has Opened

We are enjoying our new building

We recently celebrated a successful and exciting day as some of our students officially began learning in our new school building! The transition was smooth, and the energy on campus was filled with curiosity, pride, and enthusiasm.

Students who moved into the new building were eager to explore their new classrooms and learning spaces. Teachers took time to help students get familiar with their surroundings, creating a welcoming and supportive environment from the very start. The bright, modern classrooms and updated spaces quickly helped students feel comfortable and ready to learn.

Throughout the day, instruction continued seamlessly. Students stayed engaged in lessons, participated in collaborative activities, and demonstrated flexibility as they adjusted to their new surroundings. It was wonderful to see how responsibly they navigated the new stairs and spaces.

Meanwhile, the rest of our students continued their learning in their current classrooms, maintaining strong routines and a productive school day across the entire campus. Both groups of students showed adaptability and focus, making the day a success for everyone.

Staff worked together to ensure a smooth transition, prioritizing safety, organization, and student support every step of the way. Their teamwork and preparation made a noticeable difference in how well the day flowed.

We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for their positive attitudes and flexibility during this exciting transition. As more students gradually move into different spaces, we look forward to continuing this momentum and creating even more wonderful learning experiences.

Meet CUSD's Newest Trustee

Get to know Campbell Union School District's newest trustee, Sam Krow-Lucal.

Area 5 trustee Sam Krow-Lucal is taking the oath of office. The oath is presented by Superintendent Viramontez and fellow board members are looking on.

Meet Trustree, Area 5, Sam Krow-Lucal. Krow-Lucal, a proud Capri parent and longtime Campbell resident, took the oath of office on March 12, 2026. Running for the Campbell Union School Board had been something Krow-Lucal had been considering for a long time and with the encouragement of his friends decided to take action upon the retirement of seasoned trustee Danielle M.S. Cohen.

When asked what he viewed as Campbell Union School District’s greatest strength, Krow-Lucal had no hesitation in his response - stability. “People are proud of what we (CUSD) are doing,” Krow-Lucal commented. “Having a superintendent who has been in the role for ten years and having board members that stay for multiple terms speaks to the culture of the district.”

He specifically named the continuous improvement work that the district is engaged in as an additional district strength. “Having feedback loops and being conscious of how we can move the district forward is something that sets us up for success long term. Having that culture of evaluation and introspection is very important. We have it. I think it is going to continue to benefit us.”

When asked how he would define student success, Krow-Lucal was quick to note that student success is more than a test score, “It’s that growth from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. It is also enjoying that growth and wanting to continue it.”
