Juan de Anza Elementary School was opened by the Wiseburn School District on
October 31, 1946.  This school was the second school built by the district and began
with eight classrooms and one kindergarten room.  Over the years, the school grew
along with the Del Aire neighborhood, with classrooms being added to the nine-acre
campus.  In 1997 and 2000, Wiseburn voters approved two local school construction
bonds with plans to completely rebuild our schools.  The School Board designated Anza
to be the first new construction project in the district, which broke ground in June 2000.  
The new campus was opened to students in June 2002.  During this time the academic
performance of Anza students continued to flourish; the state of California recognized
Juan de Anza as a Distinguished School in 2000 and again in 2004.  Our staff, students,
and community look forward to continued success in the future on our beautiful new
campus.
