Hesperia Unified School District believes that student mental health and well-being are a vital part of their success at our school. With this in mind, we wanted to bring awareness to all of the resources we have available to our students.
Mental and Physical health starts on our campuses. At each site, we have posters prominently displayed with QR codes that students can scan requesting mental health help for themselves or others as well as anonymous reporting of bullying, harassment, crime, inappropriate conduct, and potential threats.
For immediate mental health help, you can also call:
988 California Mental Health Crisis Hotline
1-800-622-HELP Federal Mental Health Services Administration
Both hotlines are available 365 days a year, 7 days a week, and offer support in English and Spanish

Hesperia Unified School District encourages all parents to talk to their children about the dangers of drugs, including fentanyl. Remind your children not to ingest powders, pills, or candy if they don’t know where they came from. Monitor your children’s whereabouts and acquaintances. If your child is struggling with drug addiction call 988 to get them help right away. If you see or come in contact with fentanyl, do not touch the substance and immediately contact law enforcement at (760) 956-5001. And if you come in contact with someone you suspect is experiencing an overdose call 911 immediately. If you would like more information about the dangers of fentanyl please go to our Fentanyl Resources Page
We hope that our students and the community find these resources helpful and as always if you have questions please reach out to your school’s front office.
