Cedar Grove Elementary School is located in the Evergreen area at the base of the East San Jose foothills. Our school was established in 1969 and has a history of wonderful traditions and accomplishments in the Evergreen School District. It has been recognized as a California Distinguished School and National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.

The Cedar Grove community of learners is committed to life-long learning. Our dedicated educators have participated in numerous professional development opportunities focused on 21st Century Skills (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity), Career and College Readiness, and Common Core State Standards. Our students participate in rigorous curriculum and are engaged with new knowledge by practicing the 21st century skills in the daily instruction.

Cedar Grove is proud to be involved in many projects that support our theme, “Developing 21st Century Learners.” Students are given opportunities to make positive choices and demonstrate responsibilities that will create contributing members of our greater community.
