Magnolia School District Home

Walt Disney Elementary holds a unique place in Magnolia School District’s history. When the school opened in 1955, Walt Disney himself attended the dedication ceremony and continued to visit our school in the years that followed. That tradition of happiness and imagination lives on nearly 70 years later.

The Magnolia School District was recognized at the July 22, 2025 Anaheim City Council Meeting for our partnership with the Team Kids program at Mattie Lou Maxwell School. This meaningful recognition celebrates the collective efforts of our staff, students, families, and community partners including the City of Anaheim, the Anaheim Police Department, the Anaheim Fire Department, the Anaheim Community Foundation and many others who helped make this program a success for our students.

The Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) annually recognizes outstanding school and district administrators for their achievements and dedication to public education. Dr. David Appling was honored with the prestigious Human Resources Administrator of the Year Award for ACSA Region 17. He was later selected as the ACSA State Human Resources Administrator of the Year—a tremendous accomplishment that reflects his exceptional leadership and service.

Robert M. Pyles STEM Academy celebrated a proud milestone this week as 6th grade students participated in their Promotion Ceremony. Families, friends, teachers, and staff gathered to honor the Class of 2025 and reflect on their growth and accomplishments during their elementary years.

We are pleased to  announce that  Dr. Peter Marshall School has been awarded the prestigious America’s Best Schools Award for 2025. Only eleven schools nationwide received this remarkable honor this year—a true testament to the hard work of our students and staff.

The annual Magnolia School District 6th Grade Track Meet was a tremendous success as sixth grade students from all nine schools across the District came together to participate in this spirited event celebrating fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
