Carpinteria is a small, Southern California beach community 12 miles southeast of Santa Barbara and 20 miles northwest of Ventura. With a population of approximately 20,000, Carpinteria is known for its support of the school system. Generations of Carpinteria High School alumni still live in town. The students and staff of the District enjoy an amazing amount of public support which is demonstrated through volunteer and mentor programs, fund raising, partnerships with community agencies and business, and very active parent support groups.
