Adopted Instructional Materials
All core instructional materials in the Huntington Beach City School District are selected from publisher’s submissions that have been approved by the California State Department of Education.
Each of the following series has been adopted by the Board of Trustees for use in the Huntington Beach City School District following a rigorous inspection process that included the active involvement of parents, teachers, and school administrators. Materials are adopted on a cycle established by the State Board of Education, so the year listed for the next adoption is tentative.
Parents and other interested community members can make an appointment to inspect adopted instructional materials of the Huntington Beach City School District by contacting the district librarian at (714) 964-8888, extension 2040.

We have partnered with the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) to offer a professional development series to engage our dedicated staff and educators in the History-Social Studies Textbook Adoption process. The new textbooks will align with the History/Social Science Framework, updated in 2016. To address this, we are embarking on a comprehensive curriculum adoption process. The piloted materials are anticipated to be publicly available in Spring 2024.
Informational Meetings
The meetings reviewed the changes in the History/Social Science Framework, an overview of the textbook selection process, the timeline, piloted textbook publishers, and a Q&A session.
