Hearst Elementary is located in the Del Cerro area of San Diego, north of San Diego State University. Our student population includes neighborhood students, as well as those who participate in the Voluntary Ethnic Enrollment Program (VEEP) and School Choice program. This wonderful blend of students is reflective of our city’s diversity and helps our students learn to respect others and work and play harmoniously.

Hearst Elementary School is named in honor of Phoebe Apperson Hearst (1842-1919). Phoebe Hearst was dedicated to education for all and a generous philanthropist. In 1897, she co-founded the National Congress of Mothers the forerunner of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Today, the PTA is the largest volunteer child advocacy organization in the United States.

Our goal is to ensure that every child receives a meaningful and strong education. In keeping with Phoebe Hearst's vision, we are committed to communicating with and engaging parents as partners in their children’s education.
