About Us
the greatest little mountain school FOR the world
the greatest little mountain school FOR the world
Our 26-acre rural campus is located in the northern Sierra Nevada, 22 miles from Oroville. Pioneer Union Elementary School District (PUESD) was created in 1962 when Berry Creek Elementary School and Bald Rock School were combined. The district provides a TK-8 educational program. Butte County Office of Education operates an after-school program.
The Berry Creek families and school staff believe in educating the whole child. The staff and the board of trustees take pride in helping our children to grow academically, socially and emotionally. We look forward to integrating the latest educational programs, like the Common Core State Standards, Smarter Balanced Assessments, Technological Skills and Career Connected Instruction, in order to prepare our students for future successes in life. We expect students to be actively involved in, enthusiastic about, and responsible for their own learning. We strive to produce a safe and challenging environment where students develop competitive and cooperative skills with a high sense of self-respect.
