DESERT SANDS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

The 'Desert Sands Unified School District' is a public school district located in La Quinta, California. The district was founded in 1964 after the state of California department of education consolidated all of Indio public schools at the time. The DSUSD serves Indio (The part of the city south of Avenue 48 belongs to Coachella Valley Unified School District), La Quinta, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Bermuda Dunes and Rancho Mirage (The part of the city west of Bob Hope Drive belongs to Palm Springs Unified School District). The DSUSD administration office based in a former elementary school (1926-1955), was moved from Indio to La Quinta in 1996 and the historic building was torn down to make way for a county courthouse parking lot.
