Welcome to Hollyglen Elementary: Where Learning and Community Thrive

At Hollyglen Elementary, our mission is simple yet powerful: to nurture the whole child to love learning.

Since our founding in 1949, we have been dedicated to creating an environment where students feel inspired, supported, and excited to come to school every day. Nestled in the heart of Hawthorne, California, Hollyglen Elementary is one of three elementary schools in the Wiseburn Unified School District, and we are proud of our rich history and bright future.

Our Core Values: Building a Strong Foundation

At Hollyglen Elementary, our students learn and grow in a positive environment, guided by our core values:

  • Be Respectful
  • Be Responsible
  • Be Safe

These values are woven into every aspect of our school culture, ensuring that each student develops the social and emotional skills necessary for lifelong success.

A Legacy of Excellence: Our Distinguished History

Founded in 1949, Reimagined in 2009
After nearly sixty years of service, Hollyglen Elementary underwent a complete transformation with the construction of a new, state-of-the-art facility that opened its doors in January 2009. Our modern campus is designed to provide the best possible learning environment for our students, equipped with the latest technology to support 21st-century learning.

California Distinguished School
We are proud to one of 390 exemplary California public elementary schools recognized as a California Distinguished School. This prestigious award honors schools that demonstrate educational excellence and progress in narrowing the achievement gap. Our recognition was the result of a rigorous application process, a site visit from a team of educators, and validation of our signature practices in English Language Development (ELD) and Art.

A Vibrant Student Life: A Place to Grow and Explore

With 518 students in grades TK-2, Hollyglen Elementary is a place where children are encouraged to be compassionate, reflective, and inclusive, while also being challenged to be resilient and inquisitive life-long learners. Our school offers a variety of special classes and experiences that enrich our students' lives:
