What Makes HUSD Great
There are a lot of amazing things taking place in Hayward, but sometimes they get overlooked. That’s why we created the Why Hayward web page to give current and prospective families a peek into the world of HUSD. The page features videos of some of our schools, standout teachers, and programs that support student success. Check back often for updates and share the link with anyone considering HUSD for their child. #MadeinHayward
