Welcome to the Office of Communications
The Poway Unified School District strives to give the community ongoing information about its schools, programs, and students. All work supports our District vision and mission, and is guided by the 2021-24 Strategic Communications Plan.
The Communications Department facilitates communication with internal and external audiences and builds and maintains relationships to continue the high level of community engagement throughout PUSD and our schools.
Strong, proactive communication is the foundation for a strong public school district.

On Location Filming Requests: PUSD is pleased to make school facilities available for rental when they are not being used for school programs and activities. Our campuses can be viewed through our facilitron page here. After identifying potential locations, filmmakers should then contact the Chief Communications Officer to determine the feasibility of a shoot of that nature, need and costs for any assigned staff to monitor film-related activity, and any impact to students, staff, parking, instruction, and the surrounding community. Once you receive approval from the Chief Communications Officer, you must complete the following steps at least 7 days before the first day of your shoot:
